How Megan Uses Therapy Methods Online

Megan uses client-centered work to start, helping people say what matters most and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach focuses on listening and building a plan that fits each person’s needs and pace.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers simple tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep issues.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to support change when someone feels unsure or stuck. It helps people weigh options, find their own reasons for change, and take small, sustainable steps toward goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide which method or mix of methods fits best based on their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
