Megan Rockwood , LMHC

Megan Rockwood is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience and an additional three years assisting in published psychological research. She primarily works with adult clients, offering focused care for trauma, family systems, anxiety, depression, addictions, personality disorders, and emotional dysregulation. In more recent years her practice has emphasized complex PTSD, intergenerational trauma, emotional and domestic abuse, dysfunctional family dynamics, and recovery work that also supports other professionals.

Her approach centers on collaboration and respect, inviting clients to guide which areas they feel most comfortable exploring. Techniques are drawn from a wide range of traditions and applied from a trauma-informed perspective, including psychodynamic, humanistic, object relations, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative, experiential methods, and psychoanalytic ideas. This flexible integration allows treatment to be tailored to each person’s history, strengths, and goals.

Megan describes her mission as providing quality care delivered with empathy and respect, supporting clients as they work toward greater regulation, healthier relationships, and renewed purpose in life.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Megan Rockwood draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy to support online clients. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore feelings and goals - it is useful for improving self-understanding and relationship patterns. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing self-destructive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for emotional dysregulation and personality-related challenges. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and acceptance, offering techniques to reduce worry, manage stress, and increase capacity to cope with difficult memories or sensations.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan partners with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Megan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those living far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different formats, and access licensed professionals from varied locations.
