About Megan

Megan Curtis is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression, and she also focuses on communication problems, control issues, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.

Megan trained with an undergraduate emphasis on personality psychology, biopsychology, and human sexuality, then completed graduate coursework in clinical mental health treatment and neuropsychology. She takes a person-centered approach and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Her role is to guide, educate, and help people try different tools to reduce distress.

A central part of her work is using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice thinking patterns and try practical changes in behavior and thought. She pairs psychoeducation with evidence-based techniques to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and trauma.

Megan currently offers live chat sessions on an online counseling platform. In online sessions she focuses on clear, concrete steps and short exercises people can practice between meetings. She uses a collaborative process to decide which techniques to try first.

Before a first session she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a meeting. Billing uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. If she is not the right fit, she will help find other referrals.

How Megan uses evidence-based techniques online

Megan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, panic, depression, and many kinds of day-to-day worry by breaking problems into small, workable steps.

She also emphasizes psychoeducation, which means explaining why certain feelings and reactions happen and teaching practical tools to manage them. That often includes short exercises and practice tasks to try between meetings, so learning continues outside the session.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Megan will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She explains options clearly and adjusts the plan as progress is seen or needs change.

The profile indicates live chat sessions are offered. Confirm the current session formats before booking if you need a specific arrangement. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find that steady, regular online meetings help them build skills and practice new behaviors between sessions.
