About Megan
Megan Lancaster is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with ten years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and works to build confidence, motivation, and practical coping skills. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people move from feeling stuck to taking manageable steps forward.
She commonly helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. Panic disorder and panic attacks are among the focus areas she addresses, along with sleep problems, grief, and workplace or young adult issues. She also supports people facing mood disorders, ADHD, and challenges tied to isolation or family strain.
Megan uses person-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to each client. She blends that with cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness tools are used when people need emotion regulation and grounding practices.
Sessions often mix discussion, skill practice, and goal-setting. She emphasizes clear, doable steps and helps clients test what works between appointments. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Megan invites people to see therapy as a collaborative process. She offers support, mentorship, and a chance to reframe painful experiences into a clearer path forward. To begin, clients can follow the site’s start process and match with her to schedule sessions.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Megan blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior therapy skills to help people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person's priorities and building a plan around their goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors and offer simple experiments to test new ways of coping. DBT skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for high-intensity moments.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Megan collaborates with each person to decide which tools to use and adjusts those tools as needs and goals evolve. Sessions typically mix talking, skill coaching, and homework-like practice so progress can be measured between meetings.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule around work or parenting duties. It also lets people practice skills in their own day-to-day settings and bring real situations into the session for coaching and feedback.
