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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
