How sessions work
How Megan uses evidence-based approaches online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood concerns. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches specific emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship patterns are getting in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best with their goals, needs, and preferences. She mixes practical skill teaching with problem-solving to match what a client wants to accomplish.
Confirm the available session formats before you book so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discussing logistics up front helps make sessions a workable part of everyday life rather than an extra burden.
