About Megan

Megan Woods is an LPC who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can feel heard. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth, with clear next steps and tools to try between meetings.

She practices in Louisiana and conducts therapy in English. Megan brings about ten years of experience in mental health work. She earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University and has provided care in offices and in clients’ homes.

Background and approach

Her background includes individual, group, and family therapy settings, and she uses a mix of techniques rather than one fixed method. Her approach blends practical skills with personal connection. Some sessions focus on creating daily routines and concrete coping strategies.

Other times sessions take a freer form, like talking while doing an activity that helps a person open up. Megan often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns, Attachment-Based Therapy to understand relationships, and Client-Centered ideas that keep the person’s experience central. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy techniques when they fit the work.

She works with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, addictions, identity and relationship questions, parenting and family issues, eating and sleeping struggles, and coping with life changes. Megan aims to build trust first, then work step by step toward greater stability and clearer goals.

Online approaches that meet people where they are

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in their close connections and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more dependable. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s experience at the center and follows their pace; the therapist listens deeply and reflects back what they hear so the person feels understood and can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating struggles, and building coping skills.

Deciding which approach fits is part of the work. Megan will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and usable in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around family and work, to check in between sessions, and to use different formats when one style feels more helpful than another. Licensed professionals can use these tools to keep therapy practical and focused on real-life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
