About Megan

LCSW in New York with 7 years of experience, Megan Carey focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She practices Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Megan works from the idea that people know their stories best. She helps clients notice what matters to them and use practical skills to manage distress. In sessions she listens first, then suggests exercises that match a person’s goals and situation.

Her approach mixes evidence-informed techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and behavior links. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy offer tools for emotion regulation and staying present.

Before joining private practice she spent years doing direct clinical work in New York settings. That work shaped how she structures sessions: clear goals, brief skill practice, and check-ins on progress. She aims for steady, usable steps rather than long explanations.

Practical matters are straightforward. Pricing varies by location under a cancel-anytime subscription arrangement. Sessions are held in English. To begin, use the platform matching questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve mood regulation. These methods pair well with CBT or ACT skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Together they set practical goals, try brief exercises in session, and check progress to adapt the plan.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. Therapists often adapt exercises for a video or phone meeting so skill practice and behavioral experiments still fit everyday life.
