About Megan

Megan Lancaster is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maine. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit day-to-day life.

Megan believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. She works alongside clients to identify those strengths and to build clearer coping habits. Sessions often cover confidence, motivation, and managing mood changes with simple, repeatable skills.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That combination is used to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and problem-solving in everyday situations. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support behavior change and attention to the present moment.

Megan has helped people facing grief, sleep problems, workplace stress, and issues related to addiction and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with ADHD, panic, obsessive thoughts, and post-traumatic stress. Her work includes addressing communication problems, abandonment issues, and young adult concerns.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations, practical exercises, and a focus on habits that carry outside the session. She aims to offer mentorship and guidance while clients try new ways of managing difficult emotions and life changes.

How Megan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring sessions to each person. It focuses on understanding your experience and building on your strengths to make changes that matter in daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses short exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and habits. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. That means approaches may be mixed and adapted over time to match needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients practice skills in their everyday environment and bring real-life situations into sessions for coaching and problem-solving.
