About Megan

Megan Fredrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns adults bring up at home, such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and the strain of parenting. She also addresses issues like motivation, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Megan treats people as experts in their own lives. She uses clear, goal-focused conversations to identify what feels stuck and what might change. Sessions tend to be practical and centered on building skills that can be used between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also integrates parts of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help clarifying goals or finding reasons to stay with challenging changes.

Megan has worked across a range of concerns beyond the most common ones, including attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care questions, body image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication problems. She can also address commitment and control issues and certain disruptive mood concerns.

In sessions she aims to collaborate on small, achievable steps. She often focuses on practical strategies that fit daily life, such as sleep and routine changes, communication tools, and short behavioral experiments. People who prefer straightforward, skill-oriented meetings tend to find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How Megan’s approaches are used online

Megan draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based tools alongside client-centered conversations. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness work teaches simple ways to notice stress and step back from intense reactions. Client-centered work keeps the focus on the person’s priorities and views, shaping goals around what matters most to them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That could mean prioritizing short behavioral experiments, learning emotion regulation skills, or using motivational techniques to support sustained change.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are offered for online meetings. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice new communication or coping skills in the context of their everyday routines while discussing what does and doesn’t work.
