How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Megan uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the client's priorities and perspective, while CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to create practical tools for stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. DBT-informed skills can be useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing reactive patterns that interfere with relationships and parenting tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Megan works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and lifestyle. She will suggest tools, try them in-session, and adjust plans based on what works and what feels doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when a full session is needed, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging helps with brief updates or skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep steady momentum toward goals.
