About Meagan

Meagan Licata is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who uses evidence-informed therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to tailor care to each person's needs, aiming to create practical skills for daily life. Meagan emphasizes building a strong therapeutic connection so clients feel seen and understood from the start.

With four years of clinical counseling experience and a total of many years in mental health work, Meagan practices in New York and offers services in English. She is attentive to issues that often accompany mood concerns, including body image, chronic pain or illness, communication challenges, feelings of shame or isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Her style centers on collaboration and steady support, helping clients take the initial step and move forward at a manageable pace.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it emphasizes identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and groundedness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Meagan works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to the client’s life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to continue consistent work on skills and strategies from home or on the go, while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship with licensed professionals and therapists who guide progress.
