About Megan
Megan Lancaster is a Maine-licensed counselor, LCPC, with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation struggles. She also addresses sleep problems, grief, anger, addiction concerns, ADHD, and life transitions.
Megan frames therapy as a practical process. She starts by listening to what matters most and then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways of responding. The tone is straightforward and action-oriented rather than theoretical.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, dialectical behavior ideas, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are used to build daily coping skills, manage strong emotions, and shift thinking that keeps problems going. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding the drive to change.
Megan often helps people break large problems into small steps. That can mean practicing a short skill between sessions or changing a routine to improve sleep or mood. She highlights skills that people can use right away, then adjusts them as progress is made.
People who contact her can expect a practical focus on problems they want to solve. The work emphasizes clear strategies, repeated practice, and reviewing what helps most. The goal is to increase day-to-day functioning and reduce distress through concrete changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Megan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically include brief skill practice, behavior experiments, and homework to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters most to them. Dialectical behavior therapy elements offer concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance in high-stress moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts techniques based on what is working and what needs change.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time.
