About Megan

Megan Gervais is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with 18 years of experience in social work. She has worked across settings such as therapeutic mentoring, child welfare, hospital care, organ transplant, and chronic illness. Megan focuses on practical help for life transitions, caregiving strain, mood concerns, and end-of-life conversations.

Her style is flexible and client-centered. She listens first, then works with each person to build a plan that fits their goals. She often uses goal-focused and solution-oriented steps so progress can be clear and tangible.

Megan draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are weighing changes in their life. Internal Family Systems ideas inform some work when people want to understand internal conflicts.

People come to her for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, caregiving fatigue, chronic illness issues, fertility concerns, and challenges related to adoption and aging. She also supports those facing loneliness, body image concerns, parenting-related stress, and career or purpose questions.

Megan emphasizes compassion and respect in sessions. She aims to create a space where asking for help feels normal and constructive. Her approach is grounded in practical steps, clear goals, and steady support.

How Megan’s approaches fit with online therapy

Megan often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and panic. She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are considering change; this approach helps clarify values and build motivation in small, achievable steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, deeper inner work, or a mix of both based on needs and personal preferences.

Please confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. It can also help people connect with a licensed professional from their Connecticut area while balancing caregiving, medical appointments, or work commitments.
