About Megan
Megan Lancaster is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting concerns, and other common life strains that affect day-to-day functioning.
She centers work on the person in front of her and treats them as the expert on their own life. Conversations begin with the client's priorities and current struggles. Sessions typically aim to build practical skills for managing symptoms and improving communication rather than relying on jargon.
Megan uses a mix of approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That allows her to offer straightforward tools for coping, emotion regulation, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.
She has helped people address problems such as grief, addiction, sleep trouble, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports adults working through family problems, communication breakdowns, and the stress of parenting. Her focus includes mood and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic, and post-traumatic stress.
Megan asks new clients to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. She and the person she sees then set clear goals and practical next steps. Her approach emphasizes steady skill-building and regular check-ins so progress can be measured and adjusted over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Megan draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, validating a person's experience, and shaping sessions around their priorities. Cognitive behavioral methods involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are useful for managing strong emotions, interpersonal conflict, and stress related to parenting or family problems. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to try based on needs and goals, and they adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

The focus is on practical benefits that help incorporate therapy into everyday life while working toward concrete goals.
