About Megan
Megan Navratil is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, career concerns, and issues with self-esteem. Sessions are presented in straightforward, goal-focused terms.
Megan uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She focuses on present-day problems and clear steps clients can take to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and respond differently when frustration rises. Work often includes building positive self-talk and practical problem solving.
She also offers career coaching and counseling aimed at specific professional goals. Those sessions cover career transitions, communication at work, managing performance conversations, and thinking through career changes. The emphasis is on actionable strategies that translate to daily work life.
Megan has experience supporting people with learning differences, attention challenges, and autism spectrum diagnoses earlier in her career. That background informs how she explains concepts and sets realistic goals during sessions. She uses structured exercises and clear language rather than abstract theory.
When anger or resentful feelings come up, she focuses on identifying the triggers, shifting automatic thoughts, and practicing different responses. Clients learn short skills to calm down in the moment and longer-term steps to reduce repeated flare-ups. The approach is practical and stepwise, with measurable goals.
Megan holds a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Pittsburgh. She frames therapy as a collaborative process with concrete aims, and she works with each person to set time-limited objectives and track progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions teach short exercises to change automatic thoughts and practice alternative behaviors, which helps with anxiety, anger, and depression. She also applies practical coaching methods for career work that focus on goal setting, communication skills, and decision steps for transitions.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Together you set clear objectives and check progress so sessions stay focused on real-world changes.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins between appointments, and remove travel time. Different formats can suit different needs - for example, shorter phone check-ins for quick updates or video sessions for longer skill practice - and she will help match the practical format to your goals and daily routine.
