Megan Anderson, LCSW

Psychotherapist
UT
Hello, my name is Megan Anderson. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Southern University at New Orleans. My passion lies in trauma work, as well as issues related to perfectionism and anxiety. I utilize a psychodynamic approach to help clients discover deeper meaning in their experiences and learn to cope with challenges. My approach I focus on understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I help clients practice being present and reduce worries about the past or future. Common approaches I draw from include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, Mindfulness, Interpersonal Therapy, Attachment-Based, and Solution-Focused techniques. My focus I welcome clients seeking help with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, emotional and physical abuse, Bipolar I & II, identity issues, sexual orientation, religious trauma, shame, perfectionism, LGBTQ+ issues, postpartum problems, life transitions, and workplace stress. My communication style I create a safe, nonjudgmental space by meeting clients where they are. Clients set the tone for treatment style. Therapy can be a place to share ideas and receive reflection, motivation, and encouragement, or to receive feedback and learn more about yourself. We can learn coping skills or explore deeper meanings behind experiences. Sessions are client-led and tailored to individual needs. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to therapy by a desire to understand human behavior deeply. I wanted to know how people from different backgrounds can have such similar and unifying experiences.
