About Megan

Megan Rafferty is a seasoned counselor based in New Mexico who brings three decades of experience to her work with individuals, families, couples, and groups. She has been licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor for the last 20 years and holds the LPCC credential - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - which reflects her formal training and clinical practice. Megan approaches counseling with a warm, non-judgmental, client-centered, and holistic orientation, helping clients build emotional safety and explore what matters most to them.

Megan draws on strengths-based techniques to address grief and loss, life transitions, stress and anxiety, communication and family systems, relationship concerns including marriage and separation, parenting challenges, workplace conflict, and issues related to LGBTQQIP2SAA+ identity and caregiving. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, career and life-purpose exploration, compassion fatigue, and support through aging, hospice, and end-of-life matters. She has served as a counselor, trainer, mediator, and professor, working with adults, teens, children, parents, and caregivers across a wide range of clinical and practical concerns.

Megan invites curiosity and collaboration in therapy, helping clients identify thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may limit growth while cultivating balance across mind, body, spirit, emotions, and behavior. Because she works part-time, Megan is selective about cases she can accept; if someone has had recent suicidal thoughts, she is not able to provide ongoing care and recommends contacting emergency services such as 911 or 988 or calling 1-800-273-8285. Megan offers an empathetic, exploratory approach for those seeking greater authenticity, resilience, and meaning. Megan Rafferty, LPCC

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps clients explore patterns of connection and safety in relationships, focusing on how early bonds influence current emotional responses and relationship dynamics. It can be useful for attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and relational trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead, fostering self-awareness, personal growth, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and reshapes unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies, making it effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.



Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Megan works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines evidence-based techniques with an attuned, client-centered stance so that the plan of care evolves from ongoing conversations and shared decision-making.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call or phone, and brief support can be provided via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through transitions or caregiving demands, and access licensed professionals from different locations when appropriate. For many people, remote sessions provide a consistent, accessible way to pursue meaningful change and support.
