To begin, the usual path is to pick a time, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Megan uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and goals. That approach means sessions follow what matters most to the person and the therapist listens and reflects to clarify priorities.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and panic by teaching practical skills and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she may use to help people find their own reasons for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or hesitant about making a change, such as quitting an addictive behavior or taking steps to reduce caregiver burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will talk with the person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process helps find what actually fits the client’s needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include easier scheduling, fitting sessions into busy days, and options that can be less demanding on travel time. Some formats may allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video, which can help when bandwidth or a quieter environment matters. Ask about current session options so you can pick what best fits your routine and goals.
