About Megan
Megan centers sessions on the person's needs and goals. She listens closely and works collaboratively to set clear, achievable steps. The tone is calm and focused, with attention to what will help most between sessions.
Her work includes support for people living with autism or Asperger syndrome, impulsivity and mood concerns, and those dealing with substance use or obsessive-compulsive struggles. She also helps with family problems, communication breakdowns, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Megan uses solution-focused ideas to highlight strengths and set short-term goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. The focus is on practical tools that can be used right away.
Sessions may include skill practice, problem-solving, and planning steps to meet daily demands. Megan pays attention to how parenting responsibilities and life transitions affect mental health. She works at a steady pace chosen with each person she sees.
People who prefer direct, goal-oriented support often find her style helpful. She encourages honest conversation and small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Evidence-based techniques delivered online
Solution-focused work centers on identifying what is already working and setting small, reachable goals. It helps when someone wants quick, practical steps to change routines or solve a specific problem. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach skills to shift unhelpful patterns. These techniques are useful for anxiety, low mood, and repetitive behaviors.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can be handy for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday, commute, or caregiving schedule and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
