About Megan

Megan Eiselt is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also supports people managing relationship and family concerns, addiction, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Megan frames clients as the experts on their own stories. She listens for patterns that came from early family life and helps people see how those patterns show up now. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and reflect on personal meaning.

Her approach draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to address thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She also brings in narrative and Jungian ideas to look at life stories and personal symbols. Mindfulness practices are offered as simple skills to reduce arousal and improve attention.

Megan aims to balance direct strategies with deeper reflection about family of origin and attachment issues when those topics are relevant. She can help people untangle roles, expectations, and communication habits that trace back to childhood. Practical steps and clearer boundaries are common goals in her sessions.

Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings and on tracking what does and does not work. Megan practices in Minnesota and conducts work in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows what matters most to the person and prioritizes their goals and perspective. It helps when someone needs a chance to organize thoughts and decide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems; it tends to be practical and skills-based. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and opens space to revise those stories in ways that reduce shame and increase agency.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit. That collaboration helps shape session focus and what tools are tried between meetings.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also support continuing momentum between in-person appointments and applying new skills in everyday settings.
