Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions. Together the therapist and client look for practical ways to change thinking patterns and try different behaviors that lead to better outcomes. Megan often draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing when someone needs help staying present or finding motivation to change.
She focuses on small, doable steps so progress feels manageable instead of overwhelming. In sessions she helps people clarify values, find hope, and set goals that match what matters to them. Her background includes work in both outpatient and inpatient settings with people facing mental health and substance use challenges.
She emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps when planning treatment.
How Megan’s Approaches Work Online
Megan blends person-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Person-centered care focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to process and find direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and try new actions. Motivational Interviewing helps people identify reasons for change and strengthens motivation when someone feels stuck or ambivalent.Finding the right approach usually happens together. Megan will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. She uses that information to tailor sessions, trying techniques that match the client’s situation and adjusting as needed in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit care into work, caregiving, or treatment schedules while still working toward meaningful change.
