About Megan
Megan Egner, LCSW, brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable. Her style focuses on clear communication and steady support as people work through parenting concerns and mood or stress-related challenges.
Megan creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and understood. Sessions emphasize straightforward problem solving and skills you can try between meetings. She listens for patterns that keep problems stuck and helps people test small changes to see what works.
Background and approach
Over a decade of clinical work shapes her sense of what helps most in everyday life. That experience has included helping people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, ADHD challenges, trauma and abuse, and high stress. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions in ways people can change.
Many clients appreciate a practical plan and normal, plain talk about what to do next. Megan supports parents who want clearer routines, less reacting, and more predictable days. Her guidance is focused on small, doable steps that fit into busy family schedules.
In sessions she balances listening with offering exercises, worksheets, and homework that build new habits. You can expect a collaborative process that adjusts to real life and goals. The aim is steady progress you can see in day-to-day moments.

How CBT and online sessions support everyday parenting
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing whether they are true, and trying new behaviors to change how you feel. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and the daily challenges of parenting.In sessions Megan helps people break big problems into small, testable steps. That looks like setting short experiments, using simple worksheets, and practicing new responses to common triggers. The process is collaborative - the therapist and client choose what to try based on your goals and what feels realistic for your life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit work on parenting and mood into a busy schedule. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins, brief coaching, or a way to keep progress moving between longer sessions.
These formats make it easier to maintain continuity while juggling family demands. Megan will work with you to pick a mix of session types that match your needs and tempo, adjusting the approach as goals evolve.
