About Megan
Megan Toy is an AASW social worker with three years of practice supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also helps those dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief and codependency. Her opening goal is to help people find more calm and clearer direction in daily life.
Megan speaks plainly and keeps sessions relaxed. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often include simple mindfulness exercises and practical ideas about boundaries and routines.
Her background includes work with people living with mental and physical disabilities and with veterans navigating life changes. She has supported people managing chronic illness, neurodiversity and a range of coping challenges.
Megan uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centred ways of working. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small experiments and connect values to everyday actions.
In the room she focuses on clear, doable steps rather than jargon. She aims to help people regain purpose and hope, and to reduce the everyday strain that comes from worry, relationship conflict or caring responsibilities.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session. Megan will then work with them to set goals and plan practical next steps for change.
Approaches you can use with online therapy
Megan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, which can be useful for coping with anxiety and codependency. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, behaviours and feelings and encourages practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which of these methods, or a blend of approaches, best fits their goals and everyday life. Sessions focus on setting clear steps, testing small changes and using strengths the person already has.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule short check-ins or longer sessions around work and caring responsibilities. It also allows people to try exercises at home and bring real-life situations into discussion, which many find helpful for lasting change.
