Megan Vaccaro, LMSW

Megan Vaccaro is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflict, and parenting concerns.

Megan uses clear, practical strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and challenge distorted thinking patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Her approach is straightforward and problem-focused. She uses solution-focused methods to set small, achievable goals and track progress. Sessions include talking through current problems, testing new ways of responding, and practicing skills between meetings.

Megan aims to treat people with respect and without judgment. She listens for patterns that keep difficulties going and helps create manageable steps to change those patterns. Communication skills and concrete problem solving are frequent targets in her work.

Across two decades she has supported people coping with life changes, caregiving stress, codependency, body image, commitment and trust issues, and grief after loss. She also assists with career stress, anger, and intimacy-related concerns.

Clients should expect practical tools, brief skill practice, and collaborative planning. If someone wants therapy focused on thought patterns and coping skills, Megan’s work often centers on trying different ways to respond and measuring what helps.
