About Megan
Megan Woods is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship strain.

She brings about ten years of experience in mental health settings and a background that includes individual and group work. Sessions are practical and flexible - sometimes that means planning coping steps and routines, and other times it means talking while doing an activity that feels less formal.
Background and approach
Megan draws from several approaches, including Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to match techniques to each person's needs. Megan pays attention to everyday details that matter, like what brings someone joy or how they spend an average day. She uses that information to shape goals and to make suggestions that fit real life.
Her style is client-centered, with an emphasis on understanding how a person's story and relationships affect current struggles. People who contact her can expect a straightforward conversation about goals, practical steps to try between sessions, and checks on what is or isn't working. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to connect.
Megan practices in Louisiana as an LPC and works in English. Her practice includes support for a wide range of concerns such as stress, addictions, ADHD, body image, parenting strain, chronic illness, and identity questions. She aims to help people build stability and to create clearer next steps toward a healthier routine.

Online session options
How her approaches and online sessions work together
Many sessions use Narrative Therapy, which helps people tell and rethink the stories they live by to see new options and meanings. This approach can help with identity questions, grief, and relationship struggles by separating the person from the problem.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to notice how past and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. This is useful for people dealing with trust, intimacy, abandonment, or caregiver stress. Client-centered work underlies both approaches - it keeps the focus on the person's experience and priorities and guides how goals are set.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, try different techniques, and check in about what helps. Together the client and therapist adapt methods so sessions feel relevant and doable rather than rigid.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is best. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, quick coping prompts, or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
