Megan Deaver, LPC

Megan Deaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She has provided care across psychiatric hospital settings, intensive outpatient programs, and private practice, bringing a broad understanding of varied treatment environments to each client interaction.

Megan works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, LGBT related concerns, and the stresses of coping with life changes. She approaches each person with the assumption that they are the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address current obstacles. Her style blends practical support with affirmation and a focus on building useful skills for everyday life.

Outside of clinical work, Megan embraces a playful and unconventional side and encourages clients to celebrate their own quirks. She is active in Comicon and Renaissance Festival communities and views fandoms and passions as meaningful sources of connection and wellbeing. Seeking change takes courage, and Megan aims to support and empower clients as they take those first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

She has also recently become a Chartered member of the BPS for those in Europe and the British Isles seeking counseling. Megan provides therapy in English.

Evidence-Based Support Online and Approaches That Fit

Megan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to specific concerns. She offers skills-focused interventions that teach coping strategies and practical tools for managing stress and anxiety, helping clients identify triggers and build daily routines that reduce overwhelm. She also provides supportive, identity-affirming therapy for LGBT clients and those exploring gender issues, creating space to process identity, relationship dynamics, and related life transitions. Additionally, Megan brings a practical, problem-solving focus to parenting and life-change challenges, helping caregivers develop strategies for communication, boundaries, and self-care.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Megan collaborates with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts techniques over time so the approach fits the person rather than the person fitting a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. Working with licensed professionals online allows clients to access consistent support from home or wherever they are, while keeping the focus on practical progress and achievable outcomes.
