About Meagan
Meagan Licata is a licensed mental health counselor in New York. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Meagan uses straightforward, compassionate care so people feel heard from the first session.
She draws on evidence-informed approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to work through daily struggles. Meagan also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices when they fit a person’s needs. Sessions emphasize practical tools and small, manageable steps toward better sleep, mood, and day-to-day functioning.
Meagan has four years of clinical counseling experience and a longer history in mental health work. That background means she has supported people through common issues such as body image, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. She pays attention to what matters most to each person and adjusts the pace accordingly.
Her approach is collaborative. She helps people set clear goals, practices skills during sessions, and follows up with techniques to try between visits. The focus can include sleep routines, behavioral changes, and ways to reduce worry that interrupt rest.
To get started clients answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Meagan works in English and is licensed in New York as an LMHC.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small actions that match those values, often easing worry and improving routines like sleep. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new habits, which is useful for insomnia, anxiety, and mood issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship so a person feels understood and can explore concerns at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. That plan can be adjusted as progress unfolds, with the therapist checking in about what is and isn’t working.
Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce transit time. It also supports practicing skills in real-life moments between sessions. Ask about available session formats when you schedule so the timing and structure fit your routine.
