About Meagan
Meagan Licata uses a mix of practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep troubles, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, based in New York. Meagan focuses on building a calm, dependable working relationship so clients feel heard and understood from the first session.
Her sessions tend to be straightforward and skills-focused. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and form new habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and acceptance approaches help people tolerate difficult feelings and regain a sense of control. Meagan also uses client-centered methods, which means she follows each person’s pace and priorities. When emotions become intense, she brings in dialectical behavior skills for grounding and regulation.
The goal is to give tools that fit into everyday life. She has four years of counseling experience and has spent additional years in other mental health roles. That background informs how she structures sessions and sets achievable steps for change.
Meagan emphasizes collaboration and clear goals so progress is visible. Clients can expect practical exercises, brief skill practice, and reflective conversation. Meagan aims to make therapy feel like a steady, manageable process.
That steady approach helps people tackle current problems and build resilience for the future.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Meagan often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while moving toward valued actions. This can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress by shifting how someone responds to difficult internal experiences.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for sleep problems, low self-esteem, mood concerns, and ADHD-related habits because it targets concrete thoughts and routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meagan will talk through goals and preferences and choose or blend methods together with each person. That collaborative planning makes sessions feel relevant and tailored to changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier on bandwidth, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible around work, family, and daily life.
