Megan Young , LMHC

Megan Young is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and career concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and issues related to fertility, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and women's issues.

Megan works in a calm, direct style that focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of responding. She also incorporates EMDR when trauma processing is needed and draws on motivational interviewing to support motivation and change.

Sessions tend to center on clear goals and skills practice. Megan emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time. She helps clients build coping strategies, set boundaries, and reconnect with values that matter to them.

Her experience includes four years of clinical work as an LMHC in Florida. That background informs an approachable way of guiding people through transitions like pregnancy, childbirth, career shifts, or caregiving strain. Megan aims to make the work feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

People who choose her can expect a mix of short-term skills work and deeper processing when needed. She frames therapy as a shared effort to reduce overwhelm, manage symptoms, and strengthen self-compassion so clients can move forward with more confidence.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then commit to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, persistent self-criticism, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like stress and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing traumatic memories when past events continue to cause strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will decide whether ACT, CBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing, or a blend makes the most sense. This collaborative process adapts as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills demonstrations, phone sessions can fit a short break or lower bandwidth, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping treatment focused on practical progress.
