About Megan

Megan Carey is a New York-licensed clinician and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 5 years of professional practice supporting people through emotional challenges. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, experiences of trauma and abuse, and depression, offering steady, strengths-based support that centers each person as the expert of their own story.

Megan emphasizes practical coping skills alongside deeper exploration of identity, attachment, and self-worth. She draws on evidence-informed approaches to help clients build resilience, address guilt and shame, and navigate life transitions. Her work also attends to concerns such as social anxiety, sexuality, workplace stress, and women’s issues, with sensitivity to the varied ways mood disorders and post-traumatic stress can affect daily life.

Taking the first step to seek therapy often takes courage, and Megan acknowledges that effort while creating a collaborative space to set goals and move forward. Her approach is rooted in recognizing existing strengths and using them to meet current challenges, helping clients develop clearer perspectives and more effective ways of coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Megan Carey often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward meaningful change while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Megan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and goals together with clients rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit work, family, and other commitments. Megan provides sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose modes that feel most accessible and convenient. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from varied locations.
