How Megan’s Approaches Fit Online Care
Megan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and committing to actions that point toward a meaningful life, which can help with grief, anxiety, and life changes.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people notice attachment responses, improve communication, and build more satisfying connections in relationships.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a practice, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new skills between sessions in the settings where they live and work, which can speed learning and make changes feel more natural.
