About Megan

Megan Sihle uses a client-centered and existential approach to guide people through difficult life moments. She is an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida with 13 years of experience. Megan speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on helping clients sort through anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges with self-esteem.

She also addresses grief, depression, eating and body image concerns, and compassion fatigue. Megan earned a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University in 2004.

Background and approach

She operated a independent practice in Winter Park, Florida, then spent seven years in Nicaragua leading counseling and wellness retreats. Those years included work with people from many countries on grief, meaning, stress, and life transitions. Her style blends client-centered care with existential ideas that invite questions about meaning, choice, and personal freedom.

She pays attention to the whole person, including physical and spiritual needs, rather than focusing only on symptoms. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational, aimed at practical insight and forward movement. Megan is now based in Miami, Florida and continues to draw on her international experience when helping people navigate major life changes.

She notes that therapy can be messy and demands honest effort, but that meaningful growth is possible when someone is ready to do the work. Her stated focus areas also include parenting, career issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, workplace problems, and women’s issues. She offers support for clients exploring identity, loneliness, and life purpose.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a trusting connection. The therapist offers empathy and mirrors what matters to the client, helping people feel heard and understood while they sort through problems like anxiety, grief, or stress.

Existential Therapy invites questions about meaning, choice, and purpose. It helps when life changes or uncertainty leave someone feeling stuck or directionless by encouraging honest reflection and clearer priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as needed over time. That means trying things, checking what helps, and shifting course when a different focus would be more useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to maintain continuity during transitions or travel. Remote sessions also let people continue therapeutic momentum between in-person visits, with a mix of real-time conversations and written check-ins that support steady progress.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
