01About Megan
Megan Deaver is a licensed professional counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, LGBT issues, and major life changes. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a straightforward, down-to-earth approach. Megan emphasizes each person's strengths and treats people as the expert on their own story.
Megan has worked in psychiatric hospital settings, intensive outpatient programs, and independent practice. That variety gave her experience with short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy.
Background and approach
She draws on practical strategies that clients can use between sessions and conversations that make sense in day-to-day life. Megan describes herself as naturally a little weird and encourages clients to celebrate their passions. She is active in Comicon and Renaissance Festival communities and often uses interests and fandoms as a way to build motivation and resilience.
This makes sessions feel more personal and relevant to each person’s life. Her work includes supporting people navigating gender dysphoria, LGBT-related stress, and prejudice or discrimination. She also helps with family of origin issues, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and relationship styles such as polyamory or non-monogamous arrangements.
Megan is experienced with autism, Asperger syndrome, and intellectual disability concerns and adapts communication to each person’s needs. Megan practices in Missouri as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. She offers therapy in English and is open to working with international clients.
Her style is collaborative, practical, and accepting, aiming to help people move toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Megan draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on change and coping. One common approach emphasizes practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching short exercises and routines people can use during the day to lower overwhelm and improve focus. Another approach centers mood and behavior patterns to address depression, helping people identify small, doable steps that increase engagement and reward in daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and pace. She treats clients as the expert on their story and adjusts methods as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a different format feels easier. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy days or varied routines.
