How Megan’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them with practical exercises. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It teaches ways to accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most, which can help with grief, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-based ideas look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach can help people understand patterns in close relationships and improve communication and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often blend approaches so techniques fit real life and feel useful.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you need a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for shorter updates, quick coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice new skills between sessions.
