Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Megan Prior draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in an online format. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with those values while learning skills to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful for attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and family dynamics. CBT teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping strategies.

Megan works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust methods over time so therapy remains responsive and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
