About Megan
Megan Gonzales is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anger, and ease anxiety so people can get through hard days and start feeling more in control. Megan also helps with depression and building self-esteem in straightforward, usable steps.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions are meant to be collaborative - Megan listens, then suggests exercises and small changes that can be tried between meetings.
Background and approach
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. Megan has worked with a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, abandonment, attachment issues, and body image. Her additional experience includes helping people navigate adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and communication or control issues.
She also has experience with issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and first responder stress. Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish. Megan explains options clearly and helps people choose an approach that fits their daily life and responsibilities.
She frames progress as gradual and practical rather than overnight change. People who reach out first complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their situation. Megan supports those taking the first step toward better coping and clearer thinking, and works with each person to build realistic plans for change.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and problem solving. One common approach teaches coping skills for stress and anxiety through step-by-step strategies such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelming feelings. Another approach addresses anger by identifying triggers, practicing new responses, and rehearsing healthier ways to communicate that reduce conflict and regret.Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, daily routines, and what has and hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made and needs change.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and teach new skills with demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when less bandwidth or hands-free conversation is helpful. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, support between sessions, and checking progress on homework. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while keeping work focused on the behaviors and skills that matter most.
