About Megan
Megan Gervais is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Hampshire and New York, practicing in Connecticut with 18 years of social work experience. She has worked across many settings, including therapeutic mentoring, child welfare, hospital care, organ transplant, and chronic illness support. Her practice focuses on common life stressors such as anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver strain, and major life changes.
She uses a flexible, client-centered approach that adapts to each person's situation. Megan often blends solution-focused work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people set clear goals and try practical steps between sessions. She emphasizes building a working relationship while accomplishing concrete tasks together.
Megan has experience supporting people through end-of-life decisions, hospice-related concerns, fertility and adoption issues, and the practical stresses of aging and caregiving. She also addresses addiction, sleep problems, body image, chronic pain and illness, and postpartum mood challenges. These areas often overlap with relationship strain, work stress, and isolation.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. She listens to what matters most and helps make a straightforward plan. Motivational interviewing and Internal Family Systems may also be part of the work when they fit the client's goals.
People should expect direct, plainspoken guidance focused on realistic steps. The practice sees adults in Connecticut and conducts work in English. For details on how sessions are scheduled and delivered, confirm current options before booking.
BHow sessions work
How Megan uses common approaches in remote work
Megan commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, helping them clarify priorities and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small changes to improve mood, sleep, or daily functioning.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when people need help deciding on change. That approach emphasizes clear conversations about values and goals to help build motivation rather than applying pressure. Choosing which methods to use is collaborative; the therapist and client try things, see what helps, and adjust the plan together.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know the options offered now. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use video or phone to match their needs, for example choosing a phone call when bandwidth is low or a brief video check-in during a lunch break. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy fit into everyday life rather than on a single fixed format.
