Megan Dunne , LMSW

Megan Dunne, LMSW, focuses on helping women and other adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, or relationship struggles. She offers straightforward support for people who feel overwhelmed by life changes or stuck in painful patterns. Her tone is practical and grounded, aimed at people who want workable steps and real listening.

With 20 years of clinical experience in Michigan, Megan centers sessions on each person's lived experience. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centered stance to help clients name problems, try new coping skills, and build clearer plans for change. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than overly technical.

Megan pays close attention to relationship dynamics, abandonment concerns, attachment issues, and the ways past hurt shapes everyday choices. She also addresses challenges tied to body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, cancer, and aging. Her work includes exploring patterns such as codependency, commitment worries, and alternative sexual cultures when these come up for clients.

People who prefer a collaborative process will find her approach practical. She helps clients break big concerns into manageable steps and practices new responses between sessions. The aim is to leave each meeting with something useful to try.

Sessions may use talk, skill-building, and focused reflection to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Megan communicates in English and works within Michigan practice guidelines as a licensed master social worker.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Many clients benefit from techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and learning new coping skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; it helps with day-to-day mood and stress management. Another approach centers on exploring attachment and relationship patterns to understand how past experiences shape current bonds and communication, which is useful for people struggling with trust, abandonment, or repeated relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be a quicker way to check in, do brief skills practice, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health needs.
