About Meagan
Meagan Licata is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage mood. She works with people who have anxiety, sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Meagan favors clear steps and steady support so people feel less overwhelmed during sessions.
She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Meagan also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices when emotion regulation or intense stress gets in the way of daily life. Sessions emphasize skills you can use between appointments. Meagan takes a client-centered stance and spends time building a trusting connection.
That means listening first, then collaborating on goals you care about. She explains ideas in plain language and checks in often to make sure the work feels useful. Her approach is practical and paced to each person.
She helps with things like sleep routines, managing worry, coping with chronic illness or pain, and improving self-worth. Conversations include problem-solving, learning new habits, and practicing small experiments in day-to-day life. Meagan has four years of clinical counseling experience and works with adults in English.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It can be useful when worry or avoidance keeps someone from living as they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then tests small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It often focuses on sleep habits, routine building, and practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and support steady focus, which can help with stress and sleep.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try strategies together to see what fits. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan so the work matches your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful when you want face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins or ongoing support easier between longer sessions. These options let people fit appointments into busy days and keep continuity when schedules change.
