About Megan
Megan Lancaster is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maine with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also helps those managing attention differences, mood disorders, grief, and life changes.
Megan frames therapy around the person's own story. She treats clients as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to what is most pressing for the client right now.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that keep problems active. She uses dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices to help regulate strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing supports clients working through ambivalence and making changes they actually want.
Megan offers practical tools for managing anger, workplace stress, sleep disruptions, and relationship tension. She helps people develop clearer communication, set boundaries, and handle setbacks without escalating. Small skills are combined with longer-term shifts in thinking and behavior.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, regular check-ins on goals, and collaborative planning. She pays attention to both immediate coping strategies and the bigger patterns that feed recurring problems. Her work is focused on usable steps people can try between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps clarify goals and draws on the client's own strengths to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.Megan treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss what feels most useful and try strategies that match goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist check whether a method is helping and adjust course as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or parenting, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real situations into discussion. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, confirm it during the matching questionnaire and scheduling step.
