UNDERSTANDING ANXIETY

When worry is hard to set down.

Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, tension, or a feeling that something might go wrong. You may spend time anticipating problems, replaying conversations, or avoiding situations that feel uncertain.

Therapy offers space to understand these patterns and explore ways to respond. You do not need to know exactly why you feel anxious or have a diagnosis before reaching out.

You do not have to wait until worry becomes overwhelming to seek support.
HOW IT CAN SHOW UP

Anxiety can reach into everyday life.

Your experience is your own. These are some concerns you may recognize.

ANXIETY THERAPY

Questions are welcome.

You do not need a diagnosis or a clear explanation of your anxiety to reach out. Here are answers to some common questions about getting started.
HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER TO SEEK THERAPY FOR ANXIETY?
Occasional anxiety is a common experience. You may want support if worry feels difficult to manage, leads you to avoid situations, or affects sleep, concentration, relationships, or daily responsibilities. You do not need to wait until anxiety becomes overwhelming to reach out. Megan can discuss your concerns and whether her services fit your needs.
DO I NEED AN ANXIETY DIAGNOSIS BEFORE REACHING OUT?
No. You do not need an existing diagnosis to contact Megan. You can begin by describing what you notice, what feels difficult, and what you would like help with. Assessment can help clarify your concerns and guide treatment. If you plan to use insurance, Megan can explain any assessment and diagnosis requirements associated with your coverage.
HOW DOES MEGAN APPROACH ANXIETY THERAPY?
Megan begins by understanding your concerns, strengths, experiences, and goals. Together, you can explore patterns of worry, responses to uncertainty, and ways anxiety affects daily life. Treatment may include approaches such as CBT or ACT, depending on your needs. Any work involving past experiences is considered collaboratively, with attention to your preferences and readiness.
DO I HAVE TO TAKE MEDICATION FOR ANXIETY?
No. Reaching out for therapy does not commit you to taking medication. Anxiety treatment may involve psychotherapy, medication, or both, depending on your needs and preferences. Megan provides therapy and does not prescribe medication. If you would like to explore medication, a qualified prescribing clinician can discuss the options with you.
CAN WE MEET ONLINE?
Megan offers online therapy for clients located in Texas, as well as in-person sessions in Melissa. When you reach out, she can discuss availability and whether online or in-person care is appropriate for your needs. For online sessions, a private space where you can speak comfortably is important.
READY WHEN YOU ARE

Make room for more than worry.

Begin with what feels difficult, what anxiety has been getting in the way of, or the questions you are carrying. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Private-pay therapy is $165 for a 60-minute session.
