Megan Deaver has been in practice 10 years and is licensed in Missouri. Megan lists stress, Anxiety, LGBT and parenting issues among 15 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.

01 · Who Megan works with
Megan lists 5 specialisms and 10 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.
I am licensed in Missouri with 10 years of professional work experience. I have worked in the psychiatric hospital setting, intensive outpatient, and private practice. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, parenting issues, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I am a naturally weird person and believe that should be celebrated in all of us. I am active in the Comicon and Renaissance Festival communities and believe fandoms and passions are one of the best ways to get healthy and keep healthy. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I have also recently become a Chartered member of the BPS for those in Europe/the British Isles seeking counseling.

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.

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 7 Nov 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.
