About Megan

Megan Fredrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, substance use, bipolar disorder, and difficulties with motivation and life transitions. She also supports concerns related to parenting, sleep and eating issues, intimacy, and career challenges.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and skills that make daily life easier. Megan draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that cause distress. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques help people increase awareness and find reasons to keep making progress. She brings experience working with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image. Her background helps when problems involve overlapping conditions or complex life stressors.

Therapy conversations are aimed at making tangible change. Megan listens, asks clear questions, and helps set small, realistic goals. She works with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and pace.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. Online sessions let the therapist reflect what’s happening for you and help you name strengths and priorities in a conversational way.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions Megan can help you spot unhelpful thinking, try small experiments, and practice new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. That work often includes short skills coaching, which can fit well into live chat or text-based check-ins alongside video sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. The plan grows from your needs rather than a fixed template.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings. Many people find the variety of formats helps maintain momentum and makes it simpler to practice new skills in real life.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
