About Megan

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of experience, Megan Deaver helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, parenting pressures, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with autism and Asperger Syndrome, family of origin issues, gender dysphoria, intellectual disability, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, pregnancy and childbirth, prejudice and discrimination, self-love, women's concerns, and challenges common to young adults.

Megan writes plainly and listens for strengths in each person's story. She expects clients to be the experts on their lives and focuses on practical steps they can use between sessions. She values creativity and the resources people find in fandoms and community groups, and she brings that perspective into sessions when it fits.

Her background includes work in psychiatric hospital settings, intensive outpatient programs, and private practice. Those roles shaped her approach to both short-term problem solving and longer-term personal work. She aims to be direct and down-to-earth in session while encouraging clients to try specific strategies that fit their daily routines.

Megan is a naturally quirky person who participates in Comicon and Renaissance Festival communities. She uses that lived experience to normalize passion and play as parts of recovery and coping. Her style blends straightforward conversation with attention to practical tools clients can use after the appointment.

She holds the LPC credential and is licensed in Missouri. For people in Europe and the British Isles, she notes a recent Chartered membership with the British Psychological Society for those seeking counseling through that avenue.

Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do

Many of Megan's described approaches emphasize practical, evidence-based techniques that translate well to remote work. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; these help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change thinking and routine. Problem-solving methods break down overwhelming situations into manageable steps and are useful for parenting challenges and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan plans treatment collaboratively, checking in about what methods feel useful and adjusting based on the client's goals and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and how to pace the work.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Confirming options ensures the chosen session fits daily life. Remote sessions can make appointments easier to fit around work, caregiving, or school by removing travel time and letting people schedule shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to bring examples from home or community life into conversation without major disruption.
