About Megan

People rarely seek therapy by accident - they often arrive when a significant life shift is underway and they are ready to engage with that change. Megan Shea is a credentialed therapist who works with adults facing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, burnout, and major life transitions. She holds the AASW credential, indicating membership in the Australian Association of Social Workers.

Megan practices an integrative, insight-oriented approach that blends evidence-based techniques with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and values-based exploration. She is particularly drawn to supporting people at turning points - such as relocation, career shifts, changes in relationships, identity questions, or a persistent sense that something needs to change.

Her style is collaborative and direct, centered on clarity, self-understanding, and measurable forward movement. Therapy with Megan emphasizes understanding recurring patterns, reclaiming personal agency, and making intentional choices rather than simply managing symptoms or staying comfortable. Her approach often resonates with reflective, engaged individuals, including those living or working across different cultures or time zones.

Attachment and Cognitive Approaches for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early connection patterns influence current feelings and behaviors. It helps people explore attachment styles, repair ruptures in relationships, and build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors by teaching practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, offering strategies to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Megan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of techniques as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy with Megan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, during work breaks, or when travel or caregiving responsibilities make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, consistent care through these formats while tailoring the experience to each client's circumstances.
