Megan Shea, AASW

Megan Shea is a credentialed therapist who supports adults facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, and major life transitions. She brings an integrative, insight-oriented approach that combines evidence-based techniques with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and values-based exploration to help clients move forward with intention.

Megan is particularly drawn to working with people at turning points - those navigating relocation, career change, relationship shifts, questions of identity, or a persistent sense that something needs to change. Her work emphasizes collaboration and direct engagement, with a focus on clarity, self-understanding, and practical progress rather than simply maintaining comfort or managing symptoms.

Clients who are reflective and engaged often find her style resonates, including people living or working across different cultures or time zones. Megan holds AASW, which denotes membership in the Australian Association of Social Workers, and she applies this professional grounding to a range of issues including stress, coping with life changes, intimacy and self-esteem concerns, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and experiences of trauma and abuse.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences influence current ways of relating. It helps people understand attachment needs and repair connection when relationships feel strained or repeating old patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-focused approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful coping habits by building new strategies and clearer thinking.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience through gentle noticing of thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. This approach supports greater self-awareness and steadiness during times of change or overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Megan works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapists tailor sessions over time so the work remains relevant and meaningful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change.
