Hello! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Megan Vaccaro and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker from, "The Great Lakes State"...Michigan. I graduated in 2000 from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. I work with individuals, couples and families on issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, behavior issues, family conflict, trauma/abuse and parenting issues. My treatment approach includes cognitive behavioral therapy which works with challenging distorted thinking, aka-thinking traps (we all get tripped up with this). It's good to know how to challenge negative thoughts in order to have more positive experiences. I also use dialectical behavior therapy which includes work on mindfulness (awareness of thoughts, feelings, behaviors and behavioral urges), distress tolerance (stress will happen..what do we do about it?), emotion regulation (I'm overwhelmed with emotion...now what?) and interpersonal effectiveness (building and maintaining positive relationships). I thrive on problem solving, so, it makes sense that solution focused therapy is also used. I will take a non-judgmental stance allowing you to feel comfortable sharing whatever circumstance that brought you to Betterhelp. I care about people and know that we all go through struggles in life. I approach people with respect and honor as I often think how I would want to be treated or how I would want my family to be treated in the counseling environment. I value effective communication and place a high priority on this.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Megan is great.
I like Megan’s ability to listen and not judge and then offer outside insight. It feels good to talk to her.
The first steps are the hardest, Megan made it so easy to take those steps. Not only take those steps but take them with confidence that I can do this. It will take some work, but I can do this and she will be right there along side me with as little or as much help as I need. She’s good at what she does. I don’t feel like I’m talking to a complete stranger. Her suggestion have been spot on, almost like she knows me. I look forward to getting back on track with Megan’s help and working on solving the worlds problems.
Megan is a great listener and motivator! I always leave our conversations with a sense of calm and renewal. She’s able to help me dissect problems in a way where I can learn how to tackle them productively instead of destructively. Super thankful for her and betterhelp!
Meghan is very understanding and she listens to your needs she just wasn't the right therapist for me
Has been so supportive and I find I really enjoy our sessions. She is great at keeping sessions on topic and has been really great at working to understand where I am even as my life is a bit different from the norm.
Megan is kind, compassionate and easy to talk to. I felt an instant connection to her and have been enjoying our conversations throughly. She has given me some worksheets to look at my goals and values and makes me feel safe to share these things with her. She is awesome! I’m so glad this app paired us
Easiest person to talk to, always makes me feel comfortable when discussing tough topics. She is a really great counselor.
I’ve been with Megan on most a year and I’m really impressed with her knowledge and focusing on the objectives to help me get through my shortcomings. She’s been very professional and helpful with materials to focus on conversations. I really appreciate having her as my consultant
She is very kind and compassionate, and a great listener. She is prepared for our sessions and has already given me several helpful techniques to use when I am having panic attacks. I would definitely recommend her!!
BetterHelp has helped me find Megan, who has been the best therapist I’ve had in since I’ve started Therapy. Not only does she provide guidance needed for any situation but hears you out whenever you need to talk at any time. I highly recommend Megan Vaccaro to be your therapist!
She's been so great to me and my mental health. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to talk!
