About Megan

Megan Gonzales is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, and also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Conversations are direct and respectful, aimed at practical steps people can use day to day.

Megan adapts each session to the person in front of her. She listens for what feels most urgent and then helps set clear, reachable goals. Sessions emphasize problem-solving, building coping skills, and strengthening motivation so clients can notice small, meaningful changes.

Her background includes work with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, and issues tied to caregiver strain. She has also supported those facing body image struggles, commitment or control problems, and stress linked to first responder roles.

Megan works with people who encounter mood and behavioral challenges such as depression, disruptive mood dysregulation, and tendencies linked to avoidant or antisocial personality patterns. She uses straightforward dialogue to help people understand patterns and try new ways of responding.

Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. The counselor frames therapy as a collaborative effort and will tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

The therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and managing symptoms. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for stress and anxiety through step-by-step strategies and behavioral practice. Another approach emphasizes processing and understanding reactions after trauma or abuse, helping people name what happened and try new ways of responding.

Finding the right fit for therapy is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily routines, then suggest which approaches to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most and what the client finds manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during work breaks or evenings. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera. Talk with the therapist during intake to match a format to scheduling needs and treatment goals.
