How Meagan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Meagan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and still take steps toward what matters to them. ACT often focuses on values, small behavioral changes, and learning to tolerate difficult feelings while moving forward.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT typically involves practical exercises, behavioral experiments, and concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan as you go. Expect collaborative check-ins and options to try different techniques to see what helps most.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and accommodate people who prefer not to be in an office setting. Therapists can guide the pacing of work, assign between-session exercises, and use mindfulness or ACT practices in ways that fit daily routines.
