About Megan

Megan Eiselt is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and issues like guilt and shame. She also addresses concerns such as sleep problems, parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, ADHD, and work-related burnout.

Megan approaches therapy believing people know their own stories and already have strengths to build on. In sessions she listens and helps clients name what matters to them. She uses clear, practical methods to break down big feelings into manageable steps.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Narrative and Jungian ideas can come into play to make sense of life themes and recurring patterns.

Sessions often include mindfulness practices and straightforward skills for handling anxiety, shame, or anger. Megan supports people who are sorting out the aftermath of trauma, navigating life transitions, or dealing with addictive behaviors. She also helps with career stress, self-esteem struggles, and family of origin issues.

Practical matters are part of the work. She helps clients set clear short-term goals, try small experiments between sessions, and track what changes. The approach is collaborative: clients and therapist review progress and adjust what they try next.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy starts from the person’s experience and focuses on what they find most important. In practice this means sessions begin with listening and clarifying goals so each visit addresses what matters that week.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT sessions typically include tracking thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments between sessions, and reviewing results together to find what helps.

Mindfulness methods teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These techniques can be practiced briefly during a session and used later when strong emotions surface.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try first based on needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to use practices between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well over video or phone depending on what the client prefers and what is available.
