About Megan
Megan Smith is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 33 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, depression, and major life changes. She frames the first step toward change as a courageous move and offers steady support along the way.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and helps people build on what is already working. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings, and on making small changes that add up over time.
Megan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep someone stuck. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, and to issues that can affect close relationships such as communication problems, commitment worries, and codependency. She also helps people facing divorce, blended family adjustments, caregiving stress, or shifts in identity and body image.
In conversation she aims to make goals clear and achievable. Sessions often include talking through reactions, identifying unhelpful patterns, and rehearsing different ways of responding. The emphasis is on concrete tools and on strengthening confidence to handle everyday challenges.
