About Megan

Megan Shipley is a licensed therapist with 5 years of experience who approaches counseling with respect, curiosity, and a focus on relational connection. She draws on a holistic perspective to understand how mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions interact, and she partners with people to make sense of complex challenges and build toward a more fulfilling life. Megan values trust and collaboration, creating space to explore difficult experiences while identifying practical steps forward.

Megan integrates trauma-informed methods to strengthen resilience and support recovery from painful events, attending to how past experiences shape present patterns. Her practice emphasizes mutual understanding and steady, paced growth, meeting people where they are and helping them develop the tools and insights they need to navigate stress, grief, relationship strains, and major life changes. As a LICSW - a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - she combines clinical training with a relational stance to guide each person through their healing and personal development journey.

People who work with Megan can expect a thoughtful, compassionate clinician who centers respect and collaboration while tailoring interventions to individual needs and goals.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Megan uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration so that goals emerge from the client’s own values and needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is applied when trauma or distressing memories are central concerns; it helps process painful memories and reduce their lingering emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Megan works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so treatment remains responsive and client focused.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to engage in care from familiar settings and maintain consistent progress despite busy schedules or geographic constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can effectively apply these evidence-informed approaches in virtual sessions to support ongoing growth and healing.
