Megan draws on practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to create individualized plans that match a person’s goals and everyday life. These approaches are used to address common concerns like overwhelming worry, persistent low mood, and patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression, with practical strategies tailored to what will work for each client.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspectives and goals guide the work. This approach helps people who want to explore identity, improve self-esteem, or strengthen communication by placing their experiences at the center of treatment.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to shift them. CBT is commonly used to address anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Mindfulness therapy teaches skills for staying present and noticing thoughts and sensations without overreacting. It can support stress management and help reduce reactivity to difficult emotions.

Finding the most effective approach is part of the therapeutic process. Megan works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These formats allow clients to access therapy from home or other convenient locations, accommodate varied routines, and support consistent participation in treatment.
