Megan Beecham , LPC

Megan Beecham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience supporting people facing complex mental health concerns. She has worked with clients who have dual diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, substance use disorders, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Her experience spans both group and individual therapy settings, with a focus on family of origin issues, substance use, grief and loss, loneliness, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and struggles to find purpose or meaning.

Before returning to school for counseling, she worked with clients and their partners affected by HIV and AIDS, an experience that shaped her commitment to meeting clients where they are. Megan practices from a person-centered perspective, which means she treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on their existing strengths to explore new ways of coping and living more fully. She emphasizes experiential methods alongside conversation so clients can practice and notice change in the here and now.

Megan aims to support each person through their individual process toward change and greater fulfillment. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based, helping clients identify practical steps and personal resources to address ongoing challenges and move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites clients to clarify what matters most and to take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, and difficulties with motivation or meaning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for the client's perspective and innate strengths - the therapist follows the client's lead and provides empathetic support to facilitate personal growth and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it a practical option for addressing anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Megan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions based on client feedback and the issues at hand, mixing elements from different models when that best supports progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while still working toward meaningful change.
