About Megan
Megan helps people untangle attachment and abandonment issues. She addresses social anxiety, panic, and obsessive-compulsive patterns in straightforward conversation. She also talks with clients about body image, isolation, and problems with control or impulsivity.
Clients bring practical problems too, such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, workplace tension, and money worries. Megan supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and relationship communication struggles. Life purpose questions are part of her work when people want more direction or meaning after change.
Her style is collaborative and person-centered. She pays attention to each person’s values and worldview and focuses on clear, honest dialogue about goals and obstacles. Sessions typically look like talking through current problems, trying small behavior changes, and checking what does or does not help.
Megan places emphasis on realistic skills that fit daily life. She helps people build routines that reduce stress, practice new ways of communicating, and respond differently to triggers. If someone wants to explore deeper personal themes such as identity or purpose, she supports that work step by step.

How evidence-based approaches shape online sessions
Megan lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as the basis for her work. One common approach she uses is cognitive work that notices unhelpful thinking and tests alternative thoughts. That method helps with anxiety, depression, and mood patterns by making daily reactions easier to manage.Another approach focuses on attachment and relational patterns. This involves examining how early relationships influence current communication and closeness. It can help people who struggle with abandonment fears, trust, or repeated conflict in relationships.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to see which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time from skills-focused work to deeper personal exploration if that fits the clients goals.
The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats available for her practice. The biography does not list formats explicitly, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break from work or home tasks for therapy.
