My name is Megan Fraser and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Saint Augustine, FL. I work with adolescents and adults throughout the state of Florida via telehealth. I seek to help people experience relief from anxiety, depression, and various life struggles through the use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
My approach
As a certified practitioner of DBT, I most frequently use interventions based in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These interventions, partnered with a strong therapeutic relationship, promote clients to both accept themselves and motivate themselves to work through their presenting problems. However, each client is unique, and I utilize a wide variety of approaches based on my clients' needs.
My focus
My clientele consists of adolescents and adults who present with challenges related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, and more. I help clients learn and use skills to help them achieve their ideal selves.
My communication style
My clients can expect an empathetic and unconditionally accepting environment when working with me. I have pride in my truly nonjudgmental stance and want my clients to feel comfortable and heard. My clients can expect a healthy dose of humor when appropriate, and a relaxed atmosphere.
My journey to mental healthcare
I love to see individuals grow and discover their own power. I admire each person who steps into a therapeutic space for their courage to share their story.
My goals for you
As the client, you are the expert of your own life. You create your own goals, with my help to make them specific and attainable.
My first session with you
During the first session, the focus is on building and exploring the therapeutic relationship. I answer clients' questions so they can determine if I am the right fit.
