Megan Curtis , LPCC

Megan Curtis is a licensed psychotherapist practicing in California who brings a thoughtful, evidence-informed approach to clinical care. She holds the LPCC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and indicates graduate-level training in clinical mental health counseling. Her academic background includes undergraduate study in personality psychology, biopsychology, and human sexuality, followed by graduate coursework focused on general clinical mental health treatment and neuropsychology.

Grounded in a person-centered philosophy, she emphasizes meeting people where they are and recognizing clients as the experts on their own lives. Her role is to guide, support, and offer psychoeducation while drawing from a range of therapeutic methods to identify what will be most helpful. One of her primary tools is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - she is a certified CBT practitioner and uses that approach to help people examine and shift thought patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns.

Megan also integrates collaborative listening and skills-based work to address issues such as stress, grief, self-esteem, panic, and women's health concerns. She communicates a commitment to building trust with each person and to helping clients find an effective therapeutic fit. She is currently available only for live chat sessions and looks forward to supporting individuals who choose that format.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options

For many people, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps identify connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT teaches strategies for challenging unhelpful thinking and building coping skills, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and trauma-related symptoms. Person-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening, collaboration, and respect for each person's values; it supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth by creating a nonjudgmental space to discuss life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Megan works collaboratively with clients to determine what aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt techniques so treatment remains responsive and individualized.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into busy lives, manage scheduling barriers, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. These formats give clients flexibility to engage in therapy in ways that suit their communication style and daily routine while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor methods to each person's situation.
