About Megan

Megan Vaccaro is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who brings 20 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She works with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting issues, and ADHD. Megan emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that aims to make clients feel comfortable discussing whatever brought them to therapy.

Her approach blends practical, skills-based methods with a strengths-focused attitude. She frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and integrates dialectical behavior strategies to build mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Solution-focused methods support clients in clarifying goals and developing concrete steps toward change. Throughout treatment she centers effective communication, problem solving, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship informed by two decades of practice.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Megan commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to improve day-to-day functioning. DBT emphasizes mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time so that therapy stays practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy lives and differing comfort levels with remote care. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, practice new skills between meetings, and access support from Michigan without needing to travel to an office.
