About Megan

Megan Eiselt is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. Megan frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s experience leads the work. With eight years of professional experience, Megan emphasizes practical steps that build on a person’s existing strengths. She encourages small, manageable changes and clear goals so progress feels real and doable. Her style is straightforward and supportive rather than overly technical. Megan draws from several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. That can include Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts are central, client-centered ways of keeping the client's voice central, and techniques from cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also integrates mindfulness and reflective tools drawn from Jungian ideas when those fit the client’s goals. In sessions she listens for patterns that cause pain and helps people try new responses. She offers guidance and coaching as part of the process, and works with grief, parenting strain, relationship troubles, addiction concerns, and work-related stress. She also addresses issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, dissociation, and family of origin problems. Megan aims to support clients as they discover practical paths forward. She invites people to explore their story at a pace that feels safe and to test new ways of coping between sessions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Megan draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address past harm in ways that reduce re-traumatization and help rebuild safety and coping. This approach focuses on specific memories and their emotional impact so a person can move forward with less distress. She also uses client-centered methods that keep the client’s experience at the center of each session. That means the person’s priorities set the agenda and the therapist follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors in daily life. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions can shift over time as new priorities emerge. Confirm the current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for quieter or lower-bandwidth interactions depending on what works best for the client.
