01 · Who Megan works with
Megan lists 5 specialisms and 6 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Megan chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Megan's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Welcome! My name is Megan and I am a licensed psychotherapist based in California.
***I am currently ONLY available for Live Chat sessions on the BetterHelp platform***
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California with a deep passion for psychology and clinical mental health counseling. My journey in this field began with an undergraduate focus on personality psychology, biopsychology, and human sexuality. I then advanced my education with graduate coursework emphasizing general clinical mental health treatment and neuropsychology.
As an extremely open-minded individual, I adopt a person-centered approach to therapy. I believe in meeting clients where they are and recognizing that each person is the expert of their own life. My role is to guide and support you through the therapeutic process. I am dedicated to serving each client to the best of my ability, focusing on psychoeducation and utilizing various therapeutic approaches to find the best fit for your needs.
One of my core methods is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment recognized for its effectiveness in addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and abuse. As a certified CBT practitioner, I help clients identify and change thought patterns that contribute to negative emotions, fostering healing and growth.
I understand that finding the right therapist is a personal journey, and trust is essential. I approach each new client with the intention of building that trust and ensuring you feel safe and supported. If I'm not the right fit for you, I will do everything I can to help you find a therapist who is.
I look forward to Live Chatting with you soon and supporting your journey toward mental well-being!

03 · What happens next
Megan practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Megan's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Megan at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Megan is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Megan.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Megan actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Megan's - Megan has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
05 · Practical details
06 · Provenance
Megan's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Megan. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
