About Megan
She earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University in 2004 and practiced in Winter Park, Florida before spending seven years in Nicaragua. While there she led counseling and wellness retreats on the Pacific coast and worked with people from many countries on issues such as grief, meaning, career transitions, and stress.
Megan favors an existential and humanistic way of working, asking direct questions about meaning, choice, and personal freedom. She also uses client-centered practices that keep the person's experience at the heart of sessions. Her approach is flexible and aims to consider the whole person, including physical, spiritual, and nutritional factors that affect mental health.
In sessions she aims to create a space for honest self-exploration. She describes growth as sometimes messy but possible with steady effort and authenticity. Megan believes therapy is a collaborative process and that progress comes from both the therapist's guidance and the client's willingness to do the work.
Her background includes a mix of retreat work, international counseling, and private practice in the United States. This range of experience contributes to a practical, grounded style that focuses on everyday challenges like parenting stress, workplace issues, body image, and midlife transitions.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Megan uses client-centered work to prioritize the person's experience and needs. This approach focuses on listening, reflection, and responding to what matters most to the client, which can help with anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.She also draws from existential therapy, which asks questions about meaning, choice, and personal freedom. That style can be useful for people facing life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or midlife shifts. Together these approaches encourage honest reflection and practical next steps rather than quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients figure out what fits best based on their goals and preferences. She adjusts the balance of exploring meaning and using client-centered strategies so sessions stay relevant to the person's needs.
