Megan Beecham, LPC

Megan Beecham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience supporting people facing complex mental health and life challenges. She has worked with clients who have dual diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, substance use disorders, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, and brings experience in both group and individual therapy settings. Her clinical work has addressed family of origin concerns, grief and loss, loneliness, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, substance use, and the search for purpose when life feels empty.

Before returning to school for counseling, she worked with clients and their partners affected by HIV/AIDS, an experience that informed her understanding of relational and health-related stressors. Megan practices from a person-centered perspective, honoring each client as the expert on their own life and helping them build on existing strengths to create meaningful change. She incorporates experiential modalities so clients can work through issues in the here and now and develop practical ways to move forward.

Megan aims to meet each person where they are in their process toward change and fulfillment and to collaborate on a path that fits their goals and values. As an LPC, she combines compassion with clinical techniques to support clients striving for greater wellbeing and connection.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Megan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and taking steps toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that centers the client's experience and strengths, which is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Megan works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals, including therapists, often blend approaches to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and mobility concerns. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, try different session formats, and access support from home or on the go.
