About Megan
Megan DeSilva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Megan also lists blended family issues among her practice areas and often works with concerns that arise during household transitions.
Megan uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and daily challenges. Sessions cover practical skills for mood management, ways to reduce overwhelm, and strategies to rebuild confidence after loss or difficult changes. She also addresses workplace friction and seasonal shifts that affect mood.
She pays attention to relationship patterns that contribute to loneliness and codependency. Conversations may include establishing boundaries, improving communication, and reclaiming time for interests and friendships. When body image or self-love are part of what someone brings, she helps make small, doable changes that add up.
Megan frames blended family issues in terms of routines, roles, and realistic expectations. She talks through common stepparent concerns such as loyalty conflicts, parenting coordination, and merging household rules. The focus is on practical steps someone can try between sessions.
Her work is pragmatic and focused on skills people can use right away. People can expect clear goals, gentle accountability, and check-ins on what’s working. To begin, clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Megan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people address common mood and relationship concerns. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. These methods teach practical skills such as thought records and behavioral experiments that can be used between sessions.Behavioral activation is another common strategy she uses to counter low mood. It involves planning small, manageable activities that increase motivation and positive experiences. This approach can help with seasonal mood shifts, isolation, and rebuilding routines after life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and the client review goals, try techniques, and adjust what they do together. Megan will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs and preferences rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use phone-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or choose video when visual cues are helpful, depending on what the therapist offers.
