01About Megan
Megan Lancaster practices with a client-centered approach that keeps each person's goals at the center of care. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Megan holds an LCPC in Maine and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work.
She believes people are the experts on their own lives and builds therapy around their strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people feel more capable in daily life. Megan often helps people handle relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and workplace problems.
She also addresses mood disorders, panic, obsessive behaviors, and addiction-related concerns. Those dealing with compassion fatigue, abandonment, or isolation can find tools to reduce overwhelm. In sessions she mixes structured techniques with space to tell your story.
Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical and mindfulness skills help with emotional regulation and present-moment focus. Her approach includes motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding or strengthening motivation to change.
Over time this can support recovery from depression, bipolar symptoms, or substance misuse. The aim is to leave people with concrete coping skills and clearer next steps. Megan works with adults in Maine and conducts sessions in English.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people rewrite difficult chapters of their lives while building stability for the future.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Megan blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to support people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths so goals come from the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and patterns and gives practical homework to try between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy adds emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing intense feelings and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Megan treats it as a collaborative exploration. She will ask about priorities, try strategies, and tailor techniques based on what is helping. Together the therapist and client choose tools that match goals, whether that is managing anxiety, improving mood, or changing behavior.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and guided skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, on-the-go support and can help keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while still working on meaningful change.
