About Megan
Megan Lancaster is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maine with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, motivation and self-esteem, and depression. Her background also includes support for young adult issues and a wide range of mood and stress-related concerns.
Megan centers sessions on the person in front of her. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and starts by listening to what matters most. Conversations focus on practical steps - skills for handling anxiety, ways to improve communication, and routines that help with sleep and mood.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and cognitive and behavioral methods. That means exploring current thoughts and behaviors, then testing small changes to see what helps. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and grounding strategies.
Megan has worked across settings where motivation and coping skills are often a struggle. She helps people unpack patterns around addiction, anger, and relationship cycles, and she supports those managing grief, workplace stress, or co-occurring mood disorders. Sessions include clear, practical tools alongside time to reflect.
People who meet with Megan typically talk about specific goals - feeling more steady, getting through a major life change, or improving everyday functioning. To begin, she asks a few questions to match treatment to each person’s goals and strengths.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Megan uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s perspective. That approach means sessions begin with listening and building a shared plan based on the client’s goals and values. It helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide what matters next.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT in sessions looks like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing small behavior changes, and tracking what shifts. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and preferences. She will suggest practical exercises, check how they go, and adjust plans based on what helps most.
