Online session options
Narrative and Action-Oriented Therapy Online
Many people find Narrative Therapy helpful for making sense of difficult experiences by looking at the stories they tell about themselves. This approach supports people in noticing unhelpful narratives and trying out different ways of understanding past events or ongoing struggles.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them with small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. Together they’ll try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.
