Megan Beecham , LPC

Megan Beecham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of experience supporting people facing complex mental health concerns, including dual diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, substance use disorders, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. She has worked in both group and individual therapy settings addressing family of origin dynamics, grief and loss, loneliness, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and the sense of emptiness that can accompany a search for purpose.

Before pursuing counseling, she provided support to clients and their partners affected by HIV/AIDS, an experience that informs her compassionate and nonjudgmental approach. Megan centers her work in a person-centered perspective, believing that each individual is the expert on their own life and that therapy should build on personal strengths to create new ways of coping and relating. She integrates experiential methods so clients can practice and learn skills in the here and now rather than only talking about concerns.

Megan aims to meet each person where they are in their process toward change and greater fulfillment, helping them explore values, reconnect with what matters, and take practical steps forward. She works collaboratively with clients to identify meaningful goals and to develop strategies for navigating life transitions and emotional challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Megan draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on respecting the individual's perspective and building on strengths so clients can explore values, identity, and relationship dynamics in a supportive setting. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and coping with life changes. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult emotions while committing to actions that align with personal values, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and finding meaning after loss or transition.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan works with clients to evaluate which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current situation, adjusting strategies as therapy progresses so the plan remains practical and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity during life changes, while still working with licensed professionals who can guide skill-building, emotional processing, and relationship work.
