About Megan

Megan Chapman is a licensed professional counselor who centers her work on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She brings ten years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical strategies that can be used day to day. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with attention to both thoughts and habits that affect mood and relationships.

Megan pays attention to how daily routines shape wellbeing. She talks with clients about diet, sleep, and movement and how those habits connect to mood and stress.

Background and approach

Conversations are aimed at small, realistic changes that fit into a busy life. Sessions often begin with what matters most to the person seeking help. From there she uses ACT and CBT techniques to clarify values, shift unhelpful thinking, and build steady coping skills.

When past trauma is a barrier, she may draw on EMDR to address painful memories in a paced way. Her practice addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, stress and anxiety, and problems rooted in family of origin. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, fertility and forgiveness work.

The goal is better day-to-day functioning, clearer priorities, and more satisfying connections. Megan practices in Missouri and conducts therapy in English. She aims to make therapy understandable and immediately useful, helping people try concrete steps between sessions and measure small gains over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It focuses on building psychological flexibility rather than trying to eliminate unpleasant thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, stress, relationship worries, and life changes.

Megan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She talks with each person about goals and preferences and adjusts methods based on what seems to help. Together they choose techniques and pace so work feels manageable and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Those formats let people fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work while traveling, or follow up between visits with messages. The variety of options supports ongoing progress and makes it simpler to try therapy without a long commute.

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.
