About Megan
Megan Shea is an AASW counsellor who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and relationship difficulties. She supports people facing major life changes, intimacy questions, low self-esteem and the strain of caregiving or first responder roles. Her manner is direct and collaborative, aimed at making small, practical shifts that feel usable day to day.
Megan draws on systemic thinking and attachment-based ideas to understand how patterns form between people and across life stages.
Background and approach
She blends cognitive behavioural techniques with mindfulness and psychodynamic insight to help clients see recurring habits and try new responses. Sessions often focus on clear goals and simple experiments between meetings. People who come to Megan usually want more than symptom relief.
She works toward clearer self-understanding, better communication and stronger boundaries. That might mean mapping relationship patterns, practising emotion regulation skills, or tracking mood and behaviour to spot triggers. Megan has eight years' experience working with adults from varied backgrounds.
Her approach suits clients who are reflective and ready to engage in change, whether they are navigating career moves, relationship shifts or identity questions. She communicates plainly and keeps the work focused on progress. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session according to availability.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Systemic work looks at how patterns connect across relationships and daily routines. Online sessions use conversation and simple mapping exercises to spot those patterns and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current feelings and expectations; in sessions this can mean naming attachment responses and practising new ways of asking for connection. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short, practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they tailor methods and pace so the work fits the person’s life and aims.
Online therapy offers flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or suit lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or work in short bursts when schedules are tight. These options help people keep therapy practical and accessible while continuing the same core therapeutic work.
