About Megan
Megan Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Missouri with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, stress, and family-related concerns. Megan focuses on practical steps and straightforward conversation to help clients move forward.
Megan earned her Master of Social Work from Missouri State University and has provided care in offices, in homes, and through online sessions. That variety helped her learn how to make therapy fit different lives and schedules.
Background and approach
She approaches work in a client-centered, solution-focused, and strengths-based way. In sessions she aims to be open-minded and nonjudgmental. She treats the person at the center of the work as the expert in their own story.
Together she and the client set goals and choose small, usable steps to try between meetings. Megan often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also brings trauma-focused tools and EMDR-informed methods when trauma and abuse are part of the picture.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented while still attending to emotional safety. People who are looking for clear strategies and a supportive listening space may find her style helpful. Her experience includes work with adoption and foster care issues, communication problems, mood disorders, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse.
Megan offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How her approaches translate to online care
Megan blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused techniques in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities so the work fits their goals and pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing small changes that reduce distress. Trauma-focused methods, including EMDR-informed work, aim to gently process traumatic memories and their effects when trauma is part of the concern.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will discuss options, explain what each method involves, and help clients decide based on their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts plans over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit short updates, coaching between sessions, or moments when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
