Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance has become limiting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is an evidence-informed approach that works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that reinforce distress. It is often applied to anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and everyday stressors to produce practical, skill-based improvements.

Meagan works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and licensed professionals and therapists often adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Meagan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or wherever clients are located, while allowing therapy to fit into busy lives.
