About Megan
Megan Paolino is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and practices in South Carolina. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, anger, and depression.
Megan uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and works with clients to identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Her approach often includes exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors between meetings.
Clients can expect clear explanations of what will happen in a first session. Conversations focus on immediate concerns and on small steps that fit daily life. She aims to make beginning therapy less overwhelming by setting concrete goals together.
Over her career Megan has worked with a wide range of personal issues such as body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and money worries. She also supports people facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
Megan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help recognize patterns and practice alternatives. She helps people apply those techniques to workplace stress, midlife questions, men’s and women’s issues, and finding more self-respect. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a first session.
Cognitive behavioral tools and online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and social fears by helping people test unhelpful beliefs and try different responses. Megan uses CBT techniques to break problems into manageable steps and to practice skills between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try first. That means the plan can change as therapy progresses and as the client notices what helps most.
Practical advantages of online sessions include fitting meetings around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current online options before booking. The therapist will explain how sessions are scheduled and how the subscription and scheduling process work when you complete the matching questionnaire.
