About Megan
Megan Deaver is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, parenting issues, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports those facing family of origin issues and related concerns such as gender dysphoria, autism and Asperger syndrome, and challenges around non-monogamous relationships.
Megan draws on experience from hospital-based psychiatric care, intensive outpatient settings, and private practice. In sessions she treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are practical and plain: clients talk about patterns, roles, and expectations that started in childhood and how they show up now.
She values everyday interests and community. Megan is active in Comicon and Renaissance Festival circles and often uses clients' fandoms and passions as positive resources for emotional regulation and connection. That can include ways to make coping strategies more engaging and relatable.
Megan aims to help people notice recurring family patterns and try new ways of responding. She listens for repeated roles and rules learned in childhood and helps people experiment with different choices. Sessions include discussion, problem-solving, and planning small steps to test new behaviors.
People who want to begin are asked to use the site's matching process to schedule an initial appointment. Megan accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Two evidence-based approaches Megan references are practical pattern work and strengths-focused discussion. Pattern work looks at recurring roles and expectations learned in childhood and helps people recognize how those patterns affect current choices. Strengths-focused discussion highlights what the client already does well and uses those skills to try different behaviors in daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and how to measure small changes over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets someone continue therapy when relocating or when a change in routine makes in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt activities and homework to work in remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
