About Megan

Megan Tafolla, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), holds licenses in Illinois and Florida and has three years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief, anxiety, and attachment and uses those lenses to address non-death losses and life changes. Her work blends active skills with education and practical resources to help people manage heavy concerns.

Megan centers brief, actionable work in sessions. She offers tools and strategies aimed at making difficult feelings easier to carry. Sessions include discussion of patterns in relationships and attention to how attachment impacts daily life.

Her background includes work with people experiencing homelessness, veterans, perinatal concerns such as pregnancy and baby loss, parents across child ages, and older adults. She has experience with foster and adoptive parents and with biological, blended, and chosen family arrangements.

Megan uses several therapeutic approaches in her practice. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and move toward valued actions. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns and repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques appear in session work as practical ways to change behaviors and reflect on feelings.

Her style is action-oriented and resource-focused. Clients can expect education, concrete tools, and collaborative planning to address stress, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, and career or self-esteem concerns.

How Megan’s approaches translate to remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and put energy toward what matters. This can be useful for anxiety, grief, and motivation concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people recognize and change how they connect with others. That approach addresses intimacy issues, family of origin concerns, and caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively and may combine elements from different approaches based on progress and feedback.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to continue therapy across locations. Some formats may allow shorter check-ins, fewer technical demands, or scheduling that aligns with breaks at work. Ask about the available options when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first session.
