Megan Carey

Megan Carey is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and depression. She emphasizes a practical, down-to-earth style and encourages people to build on their own strengths. Megan aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous or unsure about starting therapy.

Her work centers on helping clients notice what matters to them and take small, steady steps toward those values. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness skills and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven into sessions to help with emotional ups and downs.

Megan has seven years of professional experience and holds an LCSW, licensed in New York. She draws on dialectical behavior therapy strategies when emotions feel intense, and she brings a warm, client-centered stance to each conversation. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals rather than jargon.

Many people come for help with attachment concerns, guilt and shame, self-love, or sexual and workplace issues. She also works with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and life transitions. Megan frames change as a gradual process and partners with each person to set realistic steps.

She conducts therapy in English and does not accept international clients. The intake process uses a short matching questionnaire and scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where motivation and direction are goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often involves homework and practical exercises for depression, anxiety, and social fears.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to steady attention and reduce reactivity. These practices can be helpful when strong emotions or rumination interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt sessions to match those needs in a collaborative way.

The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, shorten commute time, and allow for focused check-ins that work around work or family schedules. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to review worksheets or exercises during a session.
