Megan Foley, LCSW

Megan Foley is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, or major life changes. Her work also addresses compassion fatigue and issues that come with aging and geriatric concerns.

She uses straightforward, practical methods to build communication skills and resilience. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Megan aims to help people find clearer purpose and better ways to cope with daily demands.

Her background includes more than a decade of clinical work plus long experience as a dialysis social worker. That work involved helping people manage chronic illness and the disruptions illness brings to life and relationships. She brings that experience into therapy with compassion and real-world problem solving.

Megan pays attention to how work, family dynamics, and health interact. She supports people facing workplace stress, social anxiety, panic, and the strain of relationship changes like separation or divorce. Hospice and end-of-life concerns, forgiveness, and purpose are also part of her practice.

Therapy with Megan is collaborative. She helps people name goals, try new coping steps, and adjust plans as needs change. Her style is calm, practical, and focused on building skills that make everyday life easier.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Many of the techniques Megan uses are evidence-based and focus on clear skills. One common approach emphasizes practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing and behavioral steps to reduce distress and interrupt anxious patterns. Another helpful strand targets depression and low self-esteem by identifying negative thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral changes that lift mood and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Megan works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on progress and what feels most useful to the client.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people manage care around chronic illness or aging-related needs by reducing the need to leave home. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick times and formats that fit your life.
