About Megan

Megan Beecham is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a range of relationship and emotional struggles. She brings six years of counseling experience and aims to meet clients where they are in their process.

Her approach is straightforward and practical, geared toward parents and family members who need help managing stress, grief, anxiety, or changes at home. Megan uses a person-centered stance that treats each person as the expert on their life.

Background and approach

She looks for strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths to change patterns that get in the way. Sessions often include hands-on, in-the-moment work to try new ways of coping during appointments. Her background includes work with clients facing co-occurring concerns such as mood disorders and substance use, and she has experience facilitating both groups and individual therapy.

She has also supported people affected by HIV/AIDS earlier in her career, which shaped her focus on relationship and health-related stress. Megan blends several therapy methods to fit the person and the problem. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-based action.

She also uses dialectical skills and emotionally focused work when relationships and intense feelings need attention. Sessions are offered in English and are provided by a Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselor, license LA LPC 7598. Megan emphasizes collaboration and practical steps, so parents and family members leave with clear ideas to try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for family concerns

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can be useful for parents and family members facing life changes and stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches skills to change what isn't working. It is practical and skill-based, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stressors.

Megan aims to find the right mix of methods with each person. She works collaboratively to decide which approach fits a client's goals and situation, and adjusts as progress is made. That way the plan matches real needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around family schedules and to use therapy from home. Video or phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while messaging and chat let someone check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent contact. Together these formats help make ongoing work on relationships and parenting more manageable for busy families.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
