About Megan

AASW social worker with 8 years of experience. Megan Shea works with adults on anxiety, trauma and relationship issues, and helps people manage major life changes and burnout.

Megan describes her work as integrative and insight-oriented. She combines evidence-based approaches with mindfulness and somatic awareness. Sessions focus on clarity, self-understanding and practical next steps rather than only symptom management.

She often supports people at turning points. That includes relocation, career shifts, changing relationships or questions about identity. Megan helps people notice patterns, consider values and make deliberate choices about direction.

Her style is collaborative and direct. Conversations aim to surface unhelpful habits and build tools to move forward. She uses both talking and body-focused practices to address emotional and physical reactions to stress and trauma.

Megan’s approach tends to suit reflective, engaged clients. She is used to working with people who live or work across different cultures or time zones. Sessions are intended to lead to clearer decisions and more manageable day-to-day coping.

Before booking, prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling details. Her work combines attachment, cognitive, mindfulness and somatic perspectives to address the concerns people bring to therapy.

How Megan uses therapy approaches in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how early connections affect current reactions and intimacy issues, and it can be useful for attachment-related wounds and commitment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety or depression. It works on identifying unhelpful thinking, testing assumptions and building skills for day-to-day coping.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and increase awareness of bodily signals. This helps with stress, anxiety and managing intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust methods as needed.

Confirm the session formats before booking to know whether video, phone or other options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about scheduling, subscription billing, and how sessions are typically structured.
