About Megan
Megan Lancaster is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, practicing in Maine with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship problems, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, and major life changes.
Megan approaches therapy from the view that each person knows their own story. She uses practical methods to help people slow down strong emotions and notice patterns that make daily life harder. Sessions focus on small skills you can try between meetings, clearer ways to communicate, and steps to reduce ongoing worry or resentment.
Her work draws on client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to build problem-solving habits, shift unhelpful thinking, and strengthen emotional regulation. Conversations can include practicing new responses to anger or rehearsing calm ways to bring up relationship issues.
Megan often helps people untangle overlapping problems such as mood disorders, panic, obsessive thinking, post-traumatic stress, or work-related stress. She also addresses themes like abandonment, forgiveness, and isolation when these come up alongside other concerns.
People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, skill-building, and check-ins on progress. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set the first appointment and get started.
How her approaches translate to online work
Megan commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in sessions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors. DBT focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful when anger or intense feelings come up.She also uses client-centered ideas to keep conversations focused on what the person says matters most. That means the therapist and client work together to pick methods and set goals. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the early sessions and is adjusted as needs and preferences become clearer.
The original profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also supports continuing skill practice between meetings so exercises from CBT or DBT can be reviewed and refined in regular follow-ups.
