More about Megan
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of CT with over 17 years of experience in social work. I have worked in a wide array of settings including therapeutic mentoring, child welfare, hospital/organ transplant and chronic illness/healthcare. My skills are eclectic as no two people are alike and their stories vary greatly. I have a lot of experience with anxiety/depression, end of life, caregiver issues, life changes and the different challenges that come with each stage of life.
My counseling style is flexible and client centered. I enjoy solution focused or goal oriented therapy as I feel relationship building is often aided by accomplishing something together. I am really open to meeting the client where they are at and developing a plan with the client's goals in mind. I also have experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Needing support should never be a shameful experience. I believe everyone deserves someone kind and unbiased to offer support and encouragement as we navigate our lives.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
