About Meagan
Dr. Meagan Marksbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, grief, and substance issues. She also focuses on trauma and abuse, domestic violence, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault and abuse.
Her approach is practical and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and identify small steps that can make a difference quickly.
In sessions she helps people name specific problems, test new responses, and build coping skills for everyday situations. Conversations are direct and goal-oriented, with homework or practice between meetings when that will help progress. She emphasizes respect for each person's situation while working on concrete strategies to reduce distress and improve functioning.
Dr. Marksbury earned a Doctor of Education in Counseling Psychology and has spent her career supporting clients from diverse backgrounds. Her work has included individual, couple, family, and group formats in prior roles. She asks clients to be active participants in choosing which techniques to try and regularly reviews progress together.
To begin, she recommends clarifying the main concern and practical goals for therapy. Sessions focus on measurable steps people can take outside the room to reduce symptoms, manage stress, and improve relationships.
How CBT and solution-focused work translate to online sessions
Dr. Marksbury uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that maintain stress or mood problems. CBT sessions focus on specific skills - for example thought records, behavior experiments, and activity scheduling - which translate well to remote conversations and short between-session practice.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, practical goals and identify small changes that move a person toward those goals. That approach centers on brief, measurable steps and on tracking progress, which many people find useful when juggling work, parenting, or other demands.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist reviews needs, goals, and preferences and recommends which methods to try first. Sessions include regular check-ins about whether an approach is helping and adjustments are made collaboratively.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to use homework between meetings and to practice skills in day-to-day settings without rearranging a full day.
