How Megan’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, stress, and life changes by shifting attention from avoiding discomfort to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape connection and trust, and it helps with intimacy, relationship struggles, and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Megan will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in to see what is helping and what needs to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth sessions that include visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone needs shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain momentum between sessions.
