About Megan
Megan Tafolla is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois and Florida with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief, anxiety, and attachment, and often applies those topics to losses that are not related to death. She works with parents, caregivers, and adults facing life changes and stress.
Megan has practiced in varied settings, including work with people experiencing homelessness, veterans, perinatal populations, and geriatric clients. She has experience with foster and adoptive parents as well as biological and blended family situations. Her background includes supporting people after pregnancy and baby loss and assisting caregivers under stress.
Her approach is action-oriented. She provides education, concrete tools, and resources alongside conversations. Sessions aim to make heavy problems feel more manageable through practical steps rather than only talk.
Megan uses a mix of methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused approaches, cognitive techniques, client-centered work, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship-related concerns. She blends these to match what a person needs in the moment.
People who reach out can expect direct, practical support for issues like parenting strain, grief from non-death losses, anxiety, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and family-of-origin concerns. She emphasizes coping skills and real-world strategies that fit day-to-day life.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Megan often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small actions that align with those values. ACT can help with anxiety, grief, and motivation by focusing on what matters rather than only on feelings. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect present reactions. This approach can help with intimacy-related concerns and family-of-origin issues by identifying connection patterns and trying different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for stress and anxiety. CBT sessions tend to include exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That selection can change as work progresses. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote meetings support consistent follow-through on action steps and homework.CAreas of focus
