Megan O’Brokta

Dr. Megan O’Brokta believes therapy should provide both meaningful insight and practical support for navigating life’s challenges. Her approach focuses on helping individuals better understand the patterns, stressors, emotions, and experiences that may be contributing to anxiety, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck. Through the therapeutic process, clients are supported in developing healthier coping strategies, improving emotional resilience, strengthening relationships, and creating lasting change that feels both realistic and sustainable.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate with a Ph.D. in Sport and Exercise Psychology, Megan works with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, perfectionism, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and emotional burnout. She also works with individuals struggling with OCD, disordered eating, body image concerns, performance pressure, and difficulty balancing the expectations they place on themselves with their overall well-being. Many of the individuals she works with are high-achieving, highly self-aware, and accustomed to pushing through challenges while internally feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected.

Megan’s therapeutic style is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. She utilizes evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness-based interventions. Her work focuses not only on symptom relief, but also on helping clients better understand themselves, build healthier thought patterns, improve emotional regulation, and develop greater flexibility and confidence in daily life.

Megan’s background in sport and exercise psychology also informs her understanding of stress, identity, motivation, and the emotional impact of pressure and expectations. While she has experience supporting athletes and high performers, her work extends far beyond performance-focused concerns and centers on helping individuals create healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilling lives overall.

Above all, Megan strives to create a therapeutic environment that feels genuine, compassionate, and emotionally safe — a space where individuals can feel understood while working toward meaningful growth and healing.
