About Megan

Megan Segraves is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and centers sessions on each person's strengths. Her approach aims to make difficult steps feel manageable and supported.

She has eight years of clinical experience and holds licenses in Arizona and Kentucky. Megan sees how past hurts, current pressures, and everyday responsibilities can build up.

Background and approach

She helps people break problems into smaller, workable pieces instead of overwhelming them with big labels. Megan uses tools from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to tailor work to the person in front of her. She blends those tools with mindfulness practices to help people stay present and reduce reactivity.

Motivational interviewing also appears in sessions when people want to shift habits or face addictions and ambivalence. In practical terms she listens first, then helps set clear, doable goals. Sessions often include talking through difficult moments, trying small skills between meetings, and checking what feels helpful.

The tone is collaborative and respectful rather than directive. Her interests cover a wide range of concerns that commonly affect daily life, including parenting, family stress, sleeping problems, self-esteem, and caregiver fatigue. She also works with issues that co-occur with mental health challenges like chronic illness, ADHD, and substance use.

Megan frames progress as steady steps rather than overnight fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Megan often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people build on their own strengths. That approach is useful when someone needs understanding and support to make sense of difficult feelings.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, mood changes, sleep difficulties, and many day-to-day problems where skills practice matters.

Finding the right fit is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape which methods are most useful over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, check in between meetings, and use tools like mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets from home. Many people find that the variety of options helps keep progress steady even when life is hectic.

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.

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.
