Approaches Used Remotely and How They Help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist mirrors and supports the clientâs priorities. It helps people who need validation, increased self-awareness, and a collaborative relationship to explore goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a goal-oriented approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills and strategies to shift daily habits. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative method for exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation for change - particularly helpful for people navigating addiction, lifestyle shifts, or readiness to take action.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Megan works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time, combining elements from different approaches when that best supports progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access care from home, work, or other locations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect with licensed professionals even when in-person visits are not possible.
