Getting to know Megan Counts
Hi there! My name is Megan, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a proud native Texan. I graduated with a Master's in Professional Counseling from Texas State University in 2013, specializing in Community Counseling. Since then, I have dedicated over 10 years to working with adults, providing therapy to address a broad range of issues. These include chronic mental health conditions, substance use and abuse, PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, relationship issues, unhealthy relationship patterns, and intergenerational trauma.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of helping individuals navigate complex life challenges and work toward lasting change. I am particularly passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and have substantial experience advocating for and working with individuals in this population, ensuring they receive the care and support they deserve. My experience spans a variety of settings, including both community mental health environments and private practice. In these roles, I have had the opportunity to work one-on-one with clients as well as facilitate group therapy sessions, helping individuals connect with one another, share experiences, and build supportive relationships.
In my work, my primary goal is to help you resolve long-standing symptoms and underlying issues that may be hindering your ability to fully heal and thrive. I believe in a compassionate, holistic approach, integrating both therapeutic techniques and genuine empathy to address the whole person. My aim is to support you in overcoming challenges, building resilience, and finding peace so that you can move forward with confidence and a renewed sense of well-being. Together, we will explore the roots of your difficulties and develop effective strategies for healing and growth.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Are you feeling overwhelmed by persistent symptoms or challenges that seem impossible to overcome? You might be struggling with the weight of chronic mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or ADD/ADHD. Perhaps you're caught in the cycle of unhealthy relationship patterns, or you're carrying the burden of intergenerational trauma that impacts your ability to fully thrive. You may also be facing difficulties with substance use or abuse, and you're feeling stuck, unsure of how to break free.
In these moments, it can feel isolating, like you’re carrying these burdens alone. You may experience feelings of hopelessness, frustration, and confusion, unsure of where to turn for support. Your mental and emotional well-being may feel like a constant battle, and despite your best efforts, the change you long for feels out of reach.
If you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you may also be grappling with unique challenges related to identity, acceptance, and navigating societal pressures. These struggles can further complicate your healing journey, leaving you feeling misunderstood or unsupported.
In these moments, it’s important to know you don’t have to navigate this path alone. As a counselor, I specialize in helping individuals like you work through these complex struggles. Together, we will explore the root causes of your challenges, providing a safe space where you can heal, gain clarity, and develop the strategies you need to move forward with renewed strength and confidence. You deserve the care, support, and understanding to heal and thrive—and I’m here to walk alongside you in that journey.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In your first counseling session, we’ll start by building a safe and trusting environment. I’ll ask about your current concerns, goals, and any relevant history to better understand your unique experience. This session is an opportunity for you to share your story, and for us to explore the challenges you're facing. Together, we’ll discuss your goals for therapy and begin to establish a plan for healing and growth. You’ll leave feeling heard, understood, and with a sense of direction for the journey ahead, knowing you have support every step of the way.
