About Megan

Megan Fredrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, sleep concerns, and major life transitions. Megan emphasizes working together with clients and respects each person's strengths and story. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and practical.

Megan uses a collaborative style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. Her work often includes learning new coping skills for anxiety, practicing routines that support better sleep, and building motivation for change. Conversations move at the client's pace and focus on what feels useful day to day.

Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior ideas to handle intense emotions, and mindfulness practices to ease agitation and improve awareness. She also draws on motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment when change feels hard. These methods are used flexibly to meet individual needs.

Megan has supported people with complex diagnoses such as bipolar disorder and co-occurring substance concerns, and she addresses related issues like body image, attachment, caregiver stress, and chronic illness. She aims to help clients build skills that translate into better sleep, clearer priorities, and steadier mood.

People who choose her work with someone who values honesty and practical action. Sessions focus on clear steps, habit changes, and small experiments that can make everyday life feel easier.

How Megan’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. Sessions begin with the client's priorities and build a plan together, which helps when sleep or stress are getting in the way of daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It includes practical exercises for sleep routines, managing anxiety, and changing habits that interfere with rest or mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. These tools can be useful for people who have intense mood swings or find it hard to settle at night.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process often includes trying a technique for a few weeks and adjusting based on what helps.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, and use guided exercises between meetings. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others use longer sessions for deeper work. Ask about formats when you start so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
