About Megan

Megan Tafolla is an LCSW who centers her work on grief, anxiety, and attachment-related concerns while also addressing a broad range of relationship and family challenges.

Background and approach

She brings three years of clinical experience and a practical, action-oriented style that combines education and concrete tools to help clients carry heavy emotions more manageably. Her practice pays close attention to non-death-related losses and the ways those experiences shape intimacy, self-esteem, parenting, career stress, and life transitions.

Her background includes work across diverse settings, including support for people experiencing homelessness, veterans, perinatal clients facing pregnancy and baby loss, parents of children of all ages, and older adults. She has also supported foster and adoptive parents as well as biological, blended, and chosen families.

Based in Alabama, she integrates evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the Gottman Method to tailor care to each person’s situation.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and mood, often helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with loss. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and their impact on current relationships, making it a good fit for intimacy-related concerns and family difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the plan feels relevant and achievable. Clients are treated as partners in shaping which techniques and interventions are emphasized.

Online therapy with this practice offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats can make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other obligations, and they allow the therapist to deliver skills training, attachment work, and values-based interventions across different communication styles.
