Approaches Megan Uses in Online Therapy

Megan often integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values guide the work - it helps with building confidence, improving self-understanding, and processing relational concerns. CBT is a practical, skill-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or stress. DBT teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, and can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship patterns, and coping with crisis.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Megan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to share feedback so the work remains aligned with their priorities.

Online sessions with Megan are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments and allow continuity of support when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can effectively deliver these evidence-based approaches in virtual formats to support meaningful progress.
