About Megan

Megan Kriebel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and family concerns. She writes and talks simply so parents can quickly see if she might be a fit. Megan aims to help clients find practical ways to feel steadier and more confident during everyday life changes.

Her approach centers on listening first. She treats each person with respect and sensitivity, then works with them to set realistic goals.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize small, doable steps that can ease overwhelm and improve communication within families. Megan draws from several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, to teach coping skills and change unhelpful thinking. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused techniques to build on a person’s strengths and short-term progress.

With 13 years of experience and a Florida LMHC license (FL LMHC MH14672), she brings steady clinical experience without jargon. Her work suits people facing life transitions, relationship strain, low self-esteem, or ongoing stress. Therapy with Megan can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She uses these formats to offer flexible pacing and ongoing support while clients practice new skills and problem-solving at home. Parents reading here will find a direct, practical tone aimed at everyday problems. Megan focuses on clear steps, collaborative planning, and helping people use their existing strengths to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and life challenges

Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort priorities and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and improving everyday coping skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be helpful for managing intense reactions and improving family interactions.

Megan will work together with clients to choose which approaches feel right. She uses collaboration to mix methods based on each person’s goals, comfort level, and pace of change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to use these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to practice skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill coaching to work well in remote sessions.

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.
