Megan Curtis , LPCC

Megan Curtis is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Megan also pays attention to concerns like panic attacks, social anxiety, communication problems, control issues, pregnancy and childbirth, and women's issues.

Megan takes a person-centered stance in sessions. She meets people where they are and treats them as experts on their own lives. Her job is to listen, ask helpful questions, and offer practical tools that match each person’s needs.

Her academic background includes undergraduate study in personality psychology, biopsychology, and human sexuality, followed by graduate coursework in clinical mental health counseling and neuropsychology. That foundation shapes the way she explains symptoms and normalizes difficult reactions.

Megan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She pairs that with psychoeducation so clients understand what they are experiencing and why certain techniques can help.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Megan helps people set clear, achievable goals and checks in on progress. She also discusses next steps if another approach would be a better fit.

Most interactions emphasize small, practical changes that can reduce overwhelm. Megan encourages steady progress and supports people as they try new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Megan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors. CBT is practical and task-focused, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and low self-esteem.

She also emphasizes psychoeducation and person-centered techniques, explaining how symptoms develop and inviting clients to set goals that matter to them. That combination helps people understand what they are experiencing and try specific strategies to improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan works with clients to review what feels helpful and adjusts methods based on goals, preferences, and progress. She prioritizes clear steps and shared decision making so treatment stays relevant and manageable.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people connect face to face, phone sessions fit into tight schedules or when video is difficult, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
