About Megan

Megan McCroskey is an Alabama Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, compassion fatigue, and life changes. She also focuses on life purpose and women’s issues, helping people who feel stuck or unsure what comes next.

Megan structures sessions around what each person needs. She uses client-centered conversations to follow the client's lead. She draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify their values and next steps. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, practical changes that can make daily life easier.

In sessions she listens for values, strengths, and patterns that get in the way of progress. She and the client set realistic goals and track small wins. When grief or coping fatigue are present, she pays attention to both emotional strain and practical routines that affect energy and mood.

Megan emphasizes respect and sensitivity in how she responds. She adjusts the pace if someone is overwhelmed or needs more structure. Conversations can move from exploring meaning and life purpose to trying concrete strategies for stress and mood management.

People who come because of work changes, relationship endings, health shifts, or a sense of drifting find a mix of reflective talk and actionable steps.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy in her practice means conversations that follow what the client brings, with the therapist reflecting and listening to help clarify concerns and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings about life changes or grief.

Motivational Interviewing is used to identify personal values and to encourage gradual movement toward goals. It is practical for people who want clearer direction or who feel unsure about changing habits tied to work, relationships, or health.

Solution-Focused Therapy targets concrete steps and short-term goals. Sessions often identify small experiments or adjustments to daily routines that can reduce stress or lift mood in measurable ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the plan for future sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and goal-setting to work over distance while focusing on practical, everyday changes.
