    About Megan

    Megan Giacoletto is a clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life changes. She sees clients in Michigan and focuses on areas such as LGBTQ concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep struggles, and coping with grief. She uses straightforward language and practical skills to support people through hard moments.

    She treats addiction and recovery matters with attention to motivation and readiness for change. Megan also addresses mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns while respecting each person's values and goals. Her approach includes attention to sexual and relationship diversity, such as kink and polyamory topics, so people can bring their whole lives to sessions.

    Megan frames counseling as a collaborative process. She treats the person in the room as the expert on their life and acts as a consultant who helps build coping tools. Sessions focus on tangible strategies people can try between meetings, along with reflection on what matters most to them.

    Her clinical methods include Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with mindfulness and narrative techniques. These approaches are used to address motivation, patterns of thought and behavior, and values-based action.

    With seven years of practice and a Master of Social Work-level license (LMSW), she works to make therapy practical and manageable. People who are considering counseling are invited to learn more about how her style might fit their needs.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Megan uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their reasons to change. This method focuses on listening, asking clear questions, and helping someone notice their own motivation for change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to shift those patterns.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Megan will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels useful. She will collaborate on a plan that may combine methods based on the client’s preferences and what seems to help in session work.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits often include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Some formats require less bandwidth or a shorter check-in, which can help when schedules are tight. Ask about available formats when you schedule to make sure they match your day-to-day needs.
