About Megumi
Megumi Britt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with about 15 years of experience supporting people through hard times. She works from Tennessee and offers therapy in English and Japanese. Megumi emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental attitude in every session.
She favors a client-centered, strengths-based way of working. That means she looks for the skills and values a person already has. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that match each person's needs and goals.
Background and approach
Megumi uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult thoughts and tell different stories about their lives. She also brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques into sessions when those approaches fit a person’s goals. These methods are used to address anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and mood concerns among others.
Her background includes work with adolescents and adults in community and court-involved settings, correctional facilities, and residential programs. That experience informs an approach that is realistic and grounded in daily life challenges like sleep problems, chronic illness, workplace stress, and caregiver strain. Megumi is comfortable talking about sexuality and alternative culture, including BDSM and kink, when it matters to treatment.
She also helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, and identity-based discrimination. Conversations are tailored so each person leaves with concrete next steps. Starting therapy is presented as a collaborative process.
Megumi aims to meet people where they are and to adapt plans as needs change during care.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Megumi blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral techniques in ways that translate well to online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from the person so new possibilities can emerge. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on your priorities and pace, offering empathy and respect as the starting point. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will help you identify which methods fit your goals and adjust them as you make progress. Conversations are shaped by what matters to you and what feels most useful in day-to-day life.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls work well for a fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera isn’t needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite work, caregiving, or mobility constraints.
