Background and approach
Mindfulness and solution-focused methods round out her approach so sessions stay practical and goal-directed. Megan often assists people dealing with parenting pressures, family conflict, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports clients coping with trauma, grief, anger, and problems with self-esteem or boundaries.
When concerns involve attachment, abandonment, codependency, or blended family dynamics, she brings a pragmatic lens and a calm, respectful style. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Megan listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals.
She values clear communication and treats people with the same care she would give her own family. Her background includes a social work degree from Wayne State University and two decades of clinical work in varied settings. People who want hands-on strategies and steady support may find her approach a good fit.
How her approaches translate to online care
This practice uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior methods that adapt well to remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different responses. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and problems that come from repeated negative thoughts. Dialectical behavior therapy includes mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance skills taught in short, practical exercises that fit into daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to use and which skills to practice between sessions.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect: video calls for conversational sessions, phone for audio-only check-ins, live chat for brief exchanges, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, and let people choose whether they want to be on camera. The formats support consistent skill practice and make it simpler to apply therapy tools in real situations.
