About Megan
Megan Toy is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression, and she lists codependency among her focus areas. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue.
Megan has worked with people living with both mental and physical disabilities. Her background includes supporting veterans through difficult transitions and helping people adapt to long-term health challenges. She also has experience with conditions such as psychosis, neurodiversity and chronic illness.
Her approach is relaxed and practical. Sessions use client-centred conversation to identify strengths and goals. She introduces mindfulness, boundary-setting and resource-building so people can practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Megan commonly draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts, avoidance, and motivation. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is trying to change habits or manage addictive patterns.
She frames the person as the expert on their life and focuses on small, manageable steps. Conversations aim to make difficult choices clearer and to build everyday skills rather than promise quick fixes. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that match what matters. It can help when people feel stuck behind worry, avoidance or people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood.Megan will work with a client to figure out which approach fits best. She treats that choice as collaborative, using conversation in early sessions to learn what the person needs and adapting plans as goals change. That way the methods are practical and match everyday life rather than being one-size-fits-all.
The biography does not list session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel on difficult days. Megan uses the therapeutic approaches above to shape sessions so skills can be practised between meetings and built into daily routines.
