About Megan
Megan Navratil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She writes in plain language and aims to build a trusting, nonjudgmental connection. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than vague talk.
Many clients come for help with self-esteem, career questions, or addiction-related struggles. Megan uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift everyday patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She also teaches skills for better self-talk, problem solving, and setting realistic goals. Those steps are intended to change how people think and behave in the present to reduce distress. In addition to counseling, she offers executive coaching and career counseling for people working toward specific professional goals.
That work can include career transitions, improving workplace communication, performance management, and handling conflict. Coaching sessions combine practical planning with skill building to support career moves. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Pittsburgh and 14 years of clinical experience.
Megan has experience with youth and young adults who have learning differences, attention challenges, mood concerns, and autism spectrum conditions. She draws on that background when clients bring related issues to session. Megan prioritizes a step-by-step approach.
Early sessions often focus on setting clear, measurable goals. Later work mixes skills practice, problem solving, and review of progress so people feel equipped to manage challenges on their own.

How her approaches adapt to online therapy
She commonly applies cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. That approach breaks problems into short-term goals and practical exercises people can try between sessions to build momentum.She also uses solution-focused work that zeroes in on small, achievable steps toward a client’s goals. This method emphasizes what is already working and scales those successes into routines for managing stress, relationships, or parenting challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands to decide which combination of techniques fits best. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what clients want to prioritize.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions suit deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or support between longer sessions.
