Getting to know Megan Gunier

Hi there, I'm Megan! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Aurora University and my Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois Chicago. I have dedicated the past 14 years to the social work field, primarily focusing on school social work. I specialize in supporting youth and their families as they navigate the challenges of school and life. My approach Building trust and rapport is imperative to establishing a solid therapeutic relationship. Once rapport has been established and therapeutic goals identified, strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and other approaches are explored to determine the best fit for each client's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a flexible and adaptive approach tailored to meet the specific needs, preferences, and therapy goals of each client. CBT offers practical tools and strategies to help overcome challenges and improve emotional well-being. My focus I find fulfillment in guiding youth and their families through their journey in school and as they explore possibilities while transitioning into adulthood. This phase comes with its share of stressors and obstacles. My tenure as a school social worker has equipped me with the skills and understanding to effectively support young adults and their parents as they face the many challenges of today's world. My communication style Having served as a school social worker for over a decade, I have collaborated with diverse students, parents, and teachers to devise effective strategies for youth support. I derive immense satisfaction from working with young individuals and possess a natural ability to establish trust and foster strong rapport effortlessly.
