Megan Dunne, LMSW

Megan Dunne is a licensed social worker with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Her manner is calm and direct, and she aims to make therapy understandable and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start.

She frames sessions around each person’s needs and life situation. Megan listens for what matters most, then helps clients set practical goals and small steps they can try between meetings. She emphasizes building skills that reduce day-to-day distress and improve how someone relates to themselves and others.

Megan’s background includes long-term work with adults facing major life transitions and complex emotional problems. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices and adjusts her approach as progress is made. This means she works from what is shown to help with mood, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

Work in therapy often includes looking at past experiences that shape current patterns, learning new ways to cope with stress, and practicing communication or emotion-regulation skills. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with practical homework and clear check-ins on progress.

Megan practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Megan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target mood, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression; it teaches practical skills and brief experiments to test new ways of coping. Another approach centers on processing past stress and trauma by helping people make sense of painful memories and reduce their emotional hold, often pairing that work with grounding and emotion-regulation skills that can be used day to day.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and past experiences, then recommend methods that fit. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust methods when needed, so the plan evolves with real results and client feedback.

The biography does not list supported session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use audio-only options when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Discussing practical needs during the initial match helps shape a plan that fits everyday routines and therapeutic goals.
