About Megan
Megan Foley is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She brings a straightforward, compassionate manner to sessions and aims to help clients find clearer communication and more steady coping skills.
With 12 years of clinical experience, Megan focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She supports those dealing with depression, panic, social anxiety, and the strain of workplace issues. She also works with people facing chronic illness, aging concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, and the emotional toll of caregiving.
Her background includes many years as a dialysis social worker, where she helped people manage end-stage renal disease and its effects on daily life. That experience shaped her approach to long-term health challenges and grief-related work.
In sessions she emphasizes clear goals, developing communication skills, and finding personal purpose. She helps clients build resilience through concrete coping strategies and attention to self-care and forgiveness when needed.
Megan uses an evidence-based approach tailored to each person. She collaborates with clients to set priorities and adjust methods when something isn’t working. Her work is aimed at steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on skills people can use between sessions. One common approach emphasizes behavioral strategies and coping skills - learning specific actions to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and handle workplace stress. Another approach centers on improving communication and problem solving to help with family dynamics, relationship strain at work, and caregiving challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made when something isn’t producing useful results.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue care while managing chronic health issues or aging-related constraints, since sessions can be scheduled around medical appointments and daily routines.
