About Meagan
Meagan Licata is a New York LMHC with four years of clinical counseling experience. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, and concerns around ADHD. Meagan also lists help for body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and related emotional struggles.
She frames sessions around practical conversation and skills. Meagan uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and make small behavior changes. She incorporates client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to slow down tense moments and clarify values.
In session she focuses on clear steps rather than abstract theory. People learn ways to manage anxious or ruminating thinking, improve sleep routines, and address self-criticism that feeds shame and guilt. She also helps people explore relationship patterns and communication habits that maintain distress.
Meagan values an honest working relationship and spends time building trust so clients feel heard. She aims to balance practical tools with reflective work about purpose and self-acceptance. Her background includes a range of mental health roles over 15 years, with four years providing counseling.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with her New York LMHC credential. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site's booking flow to view current options and schedule an initial visit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice rigid thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. In practice this looks like naming what matters and taking small steps toward it despite uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to lessen reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Meagan will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative stance means trying practical exercises in session and adjusting them based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can work on sleep routines or stress tools between responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to virtual visits so the work remains focused and practical.
