Megan Beecham , LPC

Megan Beecham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with six years of clinical experience working with clients who present with dual diagnoses. Her work has included support for depression, anxiety, personality disorders, substance use disorders, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, delivered in both group and individual therapy settings.

She has provided counseling related to family of origin issues, depression, substance use concerns, grief and loss, loneliness, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and struggles with finding purpose. Before returning to graduate school for counseling, she worked with clients and their partners affected by HIV/AIDS, bringing that history of community-focused care into her therapeutic approach.

Megan’s practice is grounded in a person-centered perspective that treats each client as the expert of their own life. She values experiential methods that allow clients to try new skills in the here and now and build on their existing strengths to address patterns that interfere with a more fulfilled life. Megan aims to meet people where they are in the process of change and to collaborate with them as they pursue greater meaning and well-being. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and she is licensed in Louisiana - LA LPC 7598.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Megan integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that matter - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for the client's perspective and strengths; the therapist offers empathic listening and supports the client's self-directed growth, which is particularly helpful for work on self-esteem, relationships, and finding purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan works with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and current circumstances, and may blend techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limitations. Sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to receive consistent care from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel to an office.
