Megan Deaver

Megan Deaver is an LPC with ten years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She works with folks facing LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, and issues related to intellectual disability. Her approach is practical and person-centered, aiming to build on each person's strengths and interests.

Megan draws on experience gained in psychiatric hospital settings, intensive outpatient programs, and private practice. She treats conversations as a place to name what feels hard and to test out small, realistic changes. Sessions focus on doable steps rather than long lectures. She encourages the use of passions and hobbies as part of recovery and resilience.

She emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives. The therapist's role is to listen, reflect, and offer tools you can apply between sessions. Megan describes herself as naturally quirky and values humor and fandom communities as part of getting and staying well.

She recently became a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society for those in Europe and the British Isles seeking counseling. Her background across settings gives her experience with different levels of care and a practical sense of what helps people move forward.

Megan aims to support and empower people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. She invites clients to bring their real stories and their real interests into the work.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online care

Megan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach helps people learn skills for managing anxiety and stress through short exercises and behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach centers on identifying values, interests, and strengths to guide goal-setting and to build routines that support mood and motivation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Clients help steer the work and can expect regular check-ins about progress and fit.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up conversations between in-person visits. They also let clients bring their real-life challenges directly into conversation so skills can be tested in everyday settings.
