Megan Giacoletto, LMSW

Megan Giacoletto is a licensed master social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people feel and act. Megan aims to help clients build skills so they can cope with life’s ups and downs with more confidence.

She treats mood concerns such as depression and bipolar experiences, and supports people working through grief, trauma, and changes like loss or major life transitions. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, and challenges related to attention and impulsivity. Additional areas include chronic illness, substance and process addictions, gender dysphoria concerns, and alternative-sex-culture topics such as BDSM and kink.

Megan uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps when making difficult behavior changes, and narrative work can help rewrite unhelpful stories about the self.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and works as a consultant to teach skills and new habits. Sessions tend to focus on small, actionable steps and building routines that fit into everyday life.

Megan holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential and practices in Michigan. She has seven years of clinical experience supporting people through addiction recovery, mood struggles, trauma, and major life adjustments.

How her approaches guide online work

Megan often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings appear.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people become less reactive to their thoughts and urges. Mindfulness can support sleep, reduce stress, and make coping tools feel more effective. These approaches are explained plainly and adapted to each person's goals during sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try techniques and adjust over time. This keeps work practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins, or make it easier to keep appointments during work or caregiving days.
