Megan Gervais

Megan Gervais is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, sleep troubles, and questions about career or life purpose. Megan also helps with caregiver strain, chronic illness, end-of-life and hospice issues, postpartum mood changes, and a range of women’s health concerns.

Her background includes work across child welfare, therapeutic mentoring, hospital settings, organ transplant, and chronic illness care. That variety shaped the practical way she approaches problems. She leans on methods that focus on clear goals and steps forward rather than long, open-ended discussion.

Megan’s style is client-centered and adaptable. She often uses solution-focused techniques so people can set and reach short-term goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and Internal Family Systems to look at different parts of a person’s internal experience.

Sessions tend to combine conversation with concrete strategies. Clients can expect to talk through what’s most urgent, try small experiments, and review what helps between meetings. She uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck about change or unsure which direction to take.

People who come when life feels unsettled often want practical next steps and clearer priorities. Megan works alongside them to set manageable aims and move toward workable routines. She offers services in English and does not take international clients.

How her approaches work for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. It helps when someone needs a respectful, flexible space to sort out priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to change patterns that keep someone stuck. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify mixed feelings about change and increase their own motivation to try new steps.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Megan will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. From that conversation she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use video or audio depending on what feels most practical. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, solution-focused tasks, and motivational interviewing steps to work remotely while focusing on achievable, everyday changes.
