About Megan

Megan Murphy, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California who draws on evidence-based methods to support people facing trauma, grief, career challenges, and depression. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she brings training in therapeutic skills designed to help clients process painful experiences and develop practical coping strategies. Megan centers her work on the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that those strengths are central to moving through difficult times.

Megan has worked with clients dealing with trauma and abuse, supporting them through grief and loss, and assisting those navigating career difficulties and mood concerns. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify their goals and build on existing resources. Taking the first step toward therapy often takes courage, and she acknowledges and honors that decision while offering steady, empathetic guidance along the way.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Megan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs of each client. She offers trauma-focused approaches that help people process and integrate painful experiences, reduce their emotional intensity, and make sense of how past events affect current life. She also employs skills-based strategies that focus on building emotion regulation, coping skills, and practical problem-solving tools for concerns like depression, ADHD, and workplace stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Megan works with clients to identify goals, explore what feels most effective, and adjust techniques as needed so the work fits each person’s values, preferences, and pace.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care from wherever clients are. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, support between sessions, and multiple ways to communicate, which can be especially helpful for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to support meaningful progress in a format that works for the client.
