Megan Giacoletto, LMSW

Megan Giacoletto is a licensed master social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, sleep problems, low self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and life transitions. She uses straightforward talk and practical skills to help clients feel steadier day to day.

She approaches counseling as a team effort. The client knows their life best, and she acts as a consultant who offers tools and strategies. Sessions focus on building skills for coping, improving routines, and tracking small changes that add up over time.

Megan blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based and mindfulness practices. She may also use motivational interviewing to support change and narrative techniques to help people reframe stressful stories about themselves. These methods are adapted to the problem at hand and the person’s goals.

Her background is rooted in clinical social work and seven years of experience in mental health settings. Megan has worked with people navigating addiction recovery, LGBT concerns, chronic health issues, and end-of-life or hospice related stress among other challenges. She prefers practical, easy-to-use strategies that people can try between sessions.

Megan practices in Michigan and holds the LMSW credential, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each person’s pace and priorities.

Approaches that fit online care

Megan often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based action to help people move forward even with difficult feelings.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people slow down and notice physical and emotional reactions. Mindfulness can be helpful for stress, chronic pain, and impulse control. Megan treats finding the right approach as a team effort - she will help clients identify which methods align with their goals and try different strategies together until something fits.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face work on behavior and skills, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping momentum on goals.
