About Megan

Megan Curtis is a licensed psychotherapist practicing in California. She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with six years of clinical experience. Megan focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns.

Her style is warm and person-centered. She aims to meet people where they are and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions include practical talk, psychoeducation, and collaborative goal-setting to address day-to-day struggles and emotional pain.

Megan studied personality psychology, biopsychology, and human sexuality as an undergraduate, then pursued graduate coursework that included clinical mental health treatment and neuropsychology. That background informs how she thinks about behavior, mood, and brain effects on emotions.

A core part of her work uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice and change thought patterns that worsen mood and anxiety. She pairs that with other evidence-based techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

Megan currently offers Live Chat sessions through an online platform. She focuses on building trust early on and on practical tools people can use between sessions. If she isn’t the right fit, she will help connect people with other therapists.

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

Megan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test alternatives. CBT tends to be practical and focused, which many find useful for depression, panic, and social anxiety.

She combines CBT with other evidence-based techniques drawn from general clinical mental health practice and neuropsychology. These approaches include education about how mood and stress affect thinking and behavior, and simple exercises to change routines and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that match their needs. She collaborates on plans and adjusts techniques based on what helps most over time.

This therapist currently offers Live Chat sessions through an online platform. If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can access care from different locations.
