About Megan
Megan Tafolla is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues around relationship strain, family concerns, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, and life changes.
Megan focuses on grief that is not only tied to death but also to other kinds of loss people face. She offers practical, action-focused support and provides education and resources alongside therapy tools. Sessions aim to make heavy things easier to manage day to day.
Her background includes work with people experiencing homelessness, military veterans, perinatal clients including pregnancy and baby loss, parents of children at different ages, and older adults. She has experience supporting foster and adoptive parents as well as those in blended and chosen family situations.
Megan blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered strategies, cognitive behavioral tools, and elements of the Gottman Method. She uses these methods to address anxiety, attachment concerns, communication problems, and parenting stress.
In sessions she leans toward an action-oriented style. That means clear education, concrete tools, and collaborative planning. Clients can expect short-term strategies alongside work on longer-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match personal values. This can be useful for grieving non-death losses, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early or current relationship patterns affect present connections. It can help with intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and communication problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining brief behavioral tools with attachment-focused conversations and practical resources. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as they are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break or sessions that avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about the best way to schedule and structure sessions to match daily routines and needs.Areas of focus
