About Megan

Megan Hines is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers help for stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns. She names relationship strain, family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, anger, career stress, and ADHD among areas she supports. Her style is practical and skills-focused, aimed at helping people manage day-to-day problems and unexpected life changes.

Megan uses clear, step-by-step tools drawn from proven therapies. She introduces coping skills and communication strategies in straightforward language.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize small, usable changes that can reduce overwhelm and improve routine functioning. Before moving to independent practice she worked in hospital and community mental health settings. That experience included individual therapy, group work, partial hospitalization programs, and intensive outpatient programs.

She has ten years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential in Virginia (VA LPC 0701006043). Megan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and also integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing where helpful. She aims to help people build practical skills for mood management, addiction recovery, and healthy boundaries.

The focus is on what helps in daily life rather than jargon. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Cost varies with location and uses a cancel-anytime subscription model.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Megan frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It can help when strong emotions, self-destructive patterns, or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most in real life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for those balancing family life, work, and care responsibilities. Video calls approximate face-to-face sessions while allowing more flexible scheduling. Phone sessions and live chat give quick access when travel or time is limited. Text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to use CBT, DBT, and mindfulness tools consistently in daily life.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
