About Megumi

Megumi Britt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Tennessee LCSW, with 15 years of clinical experience. She has spent much of her career helping people manage depression, anxiety, trauma and substance use concerns. Megumi also works with stress, grief, anger, relationship and parenting challenges and supports people facing major life changes.

She has experience helping people involved with juvenile and criminal courts, correctional facilities, and residential programs move toward their goals. Her background includes relapse prevention work and supporting people after trauma victimization. Megumi speaks English and Japanese, and she practices in Tennessee.

Megumi’s approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. She looks for strengths a person already has and uses those as a starting point for change. Sessions focus on practical steps, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and building skills to manage mood and impulses.

In the room she keeps conversations respectful and direct. She avoids labels and aims to talk through real-life problems like work stress, sleep disruption, chronic pain, or feelings of isolation. Expect short-term strategies alongside longer discussions about life direction and meaning.

She also draws on mindfulness and narrative methods when useful, and uses motivational interviewing to support change. That combination is used to address issues such as compassion fatigue, communication problems, and workplace stress. Megumi tailors the plan to the individual and adjusts goals as progress is made.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills for managing anger, anxiety, and mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for discomfort.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together the client and therapist will try techniques and adjust the plan over time so the methods fit the person’s needs.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer longer meetings for deeper discussion. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and client-centered conversation to remote sessions while focusing on practical skills and workable next steps.
