About Megan

Megan Allen is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and struggles with self esteem. She also provides coaching focused on motivation and professional development. She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and aims to support people as they make practical changes.

Her approach treats challenges as solvable, not permanent. She helps clients break large problems into manageable tasks. Over time that steady work is intended to reduce stress and increase self trust.

How therapeutic approaches and online work fit together

Megan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people gain practical tools and clearer thinking. One common approach focuses on skill building - teaching coping strategies that reduce anxiety and help manage anger in the moment. These are concrete skills clients can practice between sessions to notice progress and feel more in control.

Another approach emphasizes goal-oriented coaching. This combines short-term steps, accountability, and regular check-ins to build motivation and confidence. It is useful for people who want measurable changes at work or in daily routines rather than only exploring feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
