About Megan

Megan Curtis is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and panic disorder and panic attacks. Megan writes plainly and listens closely to understand what each person is facing before planning next steps.

Megan uses a person-centered style that starts with the client’s priorities. She emphasizes psychoeducation so people can understand how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of her main tools, used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Her background includes undergraduate study in personality psychology, biopsychology, and human sexuality, along with graduate coursework in clinical mental health counseling and neuropsychology.

Over six years of practice have shaped a flexible approach. Megan aims to match techniques to what a person needs rather than use the same method for everyone. Sessions involve talking through patterns, learning coping strategies, and setting small, practical goals for change.

Megan notes that building trust is central to the work. She is open-minded and collaborative, inviting clients to guide the pace and focus of sessions. If she isn’t a good fit, she will help point someone toward other options.

People who appreciate clear explanations and hands-on tools may find her approach helpful. Megan conducts her work in English and bases her practice in California.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Megan uses evidence-based approaches to address anxiety, panic, and related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety and panic and practice alternative ways of responding. It focuses on small experiments and concrete skills to reduce distress. She also emphasizes person-centered work that centers the client’s priorities and lived experience, allowing conversations to guide what comes next and which tools are tried. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Megan works collaboratively to test techniques and adjust plans based on how a person responds. She discusses goals, offers psychoeducation, and recommends practical exercises to use between sessions so progress can be tracked and adapted together. The profile indicates Live Chat as a practice format, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when that helps. It can also make sessions accessible when schedules or mobility make in-person visits difficult. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your needs and routine.
