About Megan

Megan Giacoletto is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, LGBTQ questions, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life changes. Megan also lists support for issues like ADHD, sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Megan describes counseling as a collaborative effort. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and acts as a consultant to help build practical coping skills. Sessions focus on clear goals and ways to manage symptoms day to day rather than abstract theories.

She uses actionable strategies drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. That looks like noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them against real situations, and practicing small behavior changes to make daily life more manageable. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy inform how she explores values and personal stories when relevant.

Megan often works with people recovering from substance use and process addictions, and with those navigating gender identity questions, kink and alternative sex culture, or non-monogamous relationship arrangements. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, hoarding, and lingering guilt or shame.

Her style is straightforward and skills-focused. She helps people map out next steps, try experiments between sessions, and track what helps. To begin, clients follow the site instructions to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit

Megan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear, which can help people who feel lost or unsure what matters next. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses small experiments to test whether unhelpful beliefs hold true, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Megan treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients choose or combine methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions include practical exercises and short between-session tasks so people can see what fits their life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions so people can practice skills in their everyday settings.
