About Megan
Megan Carey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with seven years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. Megan speaks English and uses practical strategies to help clients manage day-to-day problems and strong emotions.
Megan focuses on clear, active work in sessions. She pays attention to thoughts, behaviors, and habits that keep problems going. Sessions often include learning new skills, trying small behavior changes, and checking what works in real life. Clients can expect direct talk about what is getting in the way and concrete steps to try between meetings.
Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to address symptoms like anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, and post-traumatic stress. The aim is to reduce distress and increase skills for everyday coping.
Megan treats issues related to attachment, guilt and shame, sexuality, social anxiety, women’s issues, and workplace stress. She helps people notice patterns and build alternatives that fit their life. The work is collaborative and goal-oriented with a focus on practical change.

How Megan uses structured approaches online
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, social fears, and managing stress by breaking problems into small, testable steps. ACT emphasizes values and flexible action, helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful goals. This can help with life transitions and long-standing worries. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and experience, giving space to name what matters and decide next steps.Megan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative effort. She will review goals, try methods in session, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. The process is practical: notice what helps, change course if needed, and build skills that fit daily life.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her during the matching questionnaire about which session rhythm and setup would work best for your schedule and goals.
