Hello and welcome! My name is Megan and I'm a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I am a firm believer that EVERYONE can benefit from therapy, and I am thrilled to see online platforms like BetterHelp make therapy more accessible for a wide range of people.
My clinical experience covers developmental disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), Depression, and Anxiety. I have worked with adolescents, transition aged adults, and older adults on work readiness skills, emotion regulation, decision making, and crisis management, among other areas of need. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy, where I emphasize active empathetic listening and encourage you to speak your mind without fear of judgement. I also incorporate mindfulness techniques pulled from Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, which is typically used as a group-intervention program. Of course every person is unique and I will tailor all sessions to best fit my client's needs.
Whether you are seeking therapy for a specific problem or just need someone to lend a listening ear, I look forward to each interaction we may have on this platform.

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.
