Meagan Licata

Meagan Licata is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four years of counseling experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, and attention concerns. Meagan lists life purpose among her focus areas and also works with issues like body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and social anxiety.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting driven by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are part of sessions when practical skills for mood and emotion regulation are needed.

Meagan emphasizes building a trusting connection before moving into problem work. Sessions typically start with mapping what matters most now, then testing small changes that fit into daily life. She aims to help people with concrete strategies for sleep, stress management, and clearer decision-making around work or relationships.

Over time she helps clients track what works and what needs adjusting. This can include practicing new ways of responding to anxiety, learning communication skills, or addressing shame and guilt that block next steps. Meagan describes the early sessions as focused on understanding priorities and creating manageable first steps.

She provides services from New York and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their schedule and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behavior and offers concrete skills for anxiety, sleep, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meagan will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals and preferences. That selection can change over time as progress or new challenges appear.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth, while video sessions let the therapist use visual cues and practice skills together. Ask about the current options to pick the best fit for your schedule and practical needs.
