About Meagan

Meagan Licata is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Meagan also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.

She uses practical, conversational methods in sessions and aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship. Meagan draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Sessions include skills practice, short experiments, and discussion about what matters to each person.

Her work addresses related concerns like body image, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Meagan also supports people dealing with mood difficulties, struggles with self-love, sexual identity matters, and women's issues.

In session she focuses on concrete steps someone can take between meetings. That might include small behavioral changes, breathing and mindfulness practices, or worksheets to reframe unhelpful thoughts. Meagan emphasizes collaboration and keeps explanations plain and direct.

Meagan practices from New York and conducts her counseling in English. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the service's booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. In practice this can mean noticing difficult thoughts, then trying brief real-life experiments to act differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; typical work includes simple exercises and thought records to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer. The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose quieter surroundings. Online meetings also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into therapy conversations. The therapist will discuss practical options and plan sessions in a way that fits the client's routine and needs.
