More about Megan
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Virginia, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. With over a decade of clinical experience, I focus on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and significant life transitions. My approach centers on empowering individuals to develop stronger communication skills, explore personal purpose, and build resilience.
I have extensive expertise working with diverse populations, including young adults, women, individuals experiencing workplace stress, and older adults facing aging-related challenges. My therapeutic practice addresses a wide range of concerns, from social anxiety and panic disorders to family dynamics and chronic health conditions. I have spent the last 18 years as a dialysis social worker, helping people navigate through ESRD.
My commitment is to create a compassionate, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate self-understanding. I believe in a collaborative approach that honors each person's unique journey and inherent strengths. Together, we can work towards meaningful personal growth and emotional well-being.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
