About Megan
Megan Vaccaro is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting and blended family issues among other challenges. Megan uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people manage everyday struggles and stressful transitions.
She favors methods that break problems into steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving how people relate to others.
Megan also draws on solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques to set concrete goals and keep progress moving. Mindfulness practices are used to increase awareness of thoughts, feelings, and urges in the moment. Sessions tend to be problem-solving oriented and action-focused when that fits the person’s needs.
Her work includes attention to trauma, grief, ADHD, intimacy and communication problems, caregiver stress, and issues around abandonment and attachment. She talks through practical steps for parenting stress, relationship tension, and the unique logistics of blended households.
Megan aims to treat each person with respect and clear communication. She approaches sessions without judgment and prioritizes helping people identify what changes they want and how to get there.
How Megan’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person’s own goals. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to name problems and decide what change looks like. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. That approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness. Those skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or communication keeps getting stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts strategies as progress is made and revisits what is or isn’t working together.
