Meagan Licata

Meagan Licata is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Meagan aims to build a steady connection so clients feel understood before moving forward with goals and tools.

She uses a mix of approaches that match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and tolerating strong feelings.

Meagan draws on four years of counseling experience and a longer history in mental health roles. That background informs how she listens and how she sets realistic steps you can try between sessions. She emphasizes clear, small goals rather than long lists of homework.

Many people come to her with concerns about body image, chronic illness or pain, relationship communication, shame, loneliness, or questions about sexuality and life purpose. She also offers focused help around mood disorders and issues linked to narcissism and forgiveness.

She works in English and is licensed in New York as an LMHC. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

Approach and online therapy options

Meagan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and issues like low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Client-Centered techniques to create a supportive space where the client sets the pace and goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels useful and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and personal preference.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also lets people practice skills between meetings in the settings where they actually live and spend time, which can help with habits, sleep routines, and managing stress.
