How Megan’s Approaches Work Online

Megan commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage day-to-day problems. Client-Centered Therapy means she focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s priorities so sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust techniques as needed. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person’s situation and pace.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit counseling into busy family schedules. These options offer flexibility for parents and caregivers who need to connect from home, during work breaks, or between appointments. The variety of formats also allows for shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what a person needs at the time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
