How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and working online
Megan uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help with anxiety and mood concerns. Cognitive-focused methods help people notice and shift thinking patterns that increase worry and low mood. These methods teach simple skills for managing thoughts and daily routines to reduce distress.She also uses behavior-focused strategies that concentrate on changing what people do day to day. That can mean building small routines, planning manageable activities, and testing different ways of responding to stress. These techniques often help with parenting strain and coping during life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Megan will talk with each person about goals and try different techniques to see what fits best. She adjusts methods based on what is working and what a person prefers, and she involves clients in planning practical steps they can use between sessions.
