    About Megan

    Megan Lancaster is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maine with ten years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and treats each client as the expert on their own life. Megan aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of the courage it can take.

    Megan often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons and strength to change. She pairs that with client-centered work that focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when people want practical skills to shift thinking and behavior.

    She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Other common focuses include relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, sleep problems, addiction, and coping with life changes. Many clients also bring worries about self-esteem, burnout and compassion fatigue.

    Megan works with issues like panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, post-traumatic stress, workplace stress, and young adult transitions. She also addresses family problems, communication breakdowns, domestic violence, and the effects of abandonment and isolation.

    Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She offers a mix of reflective listening and skills-based strategies to match what each person needs. To start, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Megan uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and build readiness for new choices. This approach focuses on listening, asking reflective questions, and helping clients weigh options so they can move forward. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work and means sessions begin with open listening and respect for the client’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete skills to manage thoughts, behavior, and mood, and is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and patterns that cause distress.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. Early sessions often focus on understanding the problem, then testing tools together and adjusting as progress is made.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue work between visits using exercises and coping strategies discussed in sessions.
