Megan French, LMFT

Compassionate practical therapy for life transitions

About Megan

Megan French is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and career pressure. She writes plainly and stays practical, focusing on what can change now.

Background and approach

Her tone is warm and collaborative, which helps people feel heard while they set clear goals. She has about three years of clinical experience working with adults through life transitions and identity questions.

Sessions often include clear steps and homework people can try between meetings. Megan also offers counseling from a biblical perspective when clients prefer faith-informed conversations.

Her work emphasizes simple strategies to build confidence and reduce stress. She combines cognitive ideas about how thoughts shape feelings with solution-focused steps that break problems into manageable pieces.

That approach is aimed at helping people move forward with specific actions, not just talk about problems. Megan pays attention to communication patterns and family of origin issues that shape how people relate now.

She also supports those facing fertility concerns, pregnancy and childbirth stress, workplace strain, and loneliness. Clients looking for help with codependency, forgiveness, or finding life purpose often explore practical ways to change patterns.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People in California can connect with her through the site's matching and scheduling process.

How Megan’s Approaches Work Online

Her practice blends cognitive ideas about thoughts and feelings with solution-focused techniques. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Solution-focused work narrows goals into small, doable steps and focuses on what changes will look like in daily life.

She also integrates faith-informed counseling when requested, offering conversations that consider Christian beliefs alongside practical therapeutic steps. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client choose methods together based on goals, needs, and preferences so the plan fits each person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for full sessions, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare, or other daily demands.
