Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure connections and healthier interaction habits.Meagan brings those approaches into a collaborative process. She will work with each person to figure out which methods feel most useful. Together they identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps in daily life.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the listing does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also makes it possible to continue work during life transitions and to practice skills in real-world settings between sessions.
