For people managing life changes, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns of distress, Megan aims to create steady progress. She works with clients to build tools for emotional regulation, clearer communication, and healthier boundaries.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and helping people set their own goals, which can be especially useful when sorting out relationship stress, identity questions, or grief.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing self-destructive behaviors. It includes coaching in distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. It can help with anxiety, stress, and compulsive patterns by building small daily habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the challenges they bring. This often means mixing techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share updates between sessions and get brief coaching or reminders. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
