About Megan

Megan Beecham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, substance use, grief, and questions tied to family of origin issues. Sessions address problems like emptiness, intimacy concerns, anger, and caregiver stress with straightforward, practical conversation.

Megan has worked in both group and individual settings. She has experience supporting people with dual diagnoses, including mood disorders and substance use. Earlier in her career she supported people and their partners affected by HIV/AIDS, which shaped her focus on real-life coping skills.

Her main approach is person-centered work that treats each client as the expert on their life. She helps people recognize strengths and try new ways of handling patterns that repeat from their upbringing. This often includes hands-on or experiential tasks during sessions to notice how patterns show up in real time.

Megan also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and skills-based strategies to help manage intense emotions and unhelpful thoughts. She uses elements of acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when those tools fit a client’s goals.

Clients can expect straightforward talk about what is getting in the way now, and practical steps to test different ways of responding. The focus is on developing clearer choices and practicing them in everyday life.

Approaches used remotely and what they do

Many of her sessions draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a method that helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that fit their values. ACT can help with stress, grief, and feeling directionless.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps the client most. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and based on what the client wants to change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit into busy schedules by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings can also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and bring concerns from daily life into conversation.
