About

Megan Balcarczyk is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York, holding New York state licensure as a mental health counselor (license number 006635). She earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2012 and brings six years of counseling experience to her work.

Over the course of her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, personality and mood disorders, and psychotic disorders. Her approach balances warmth and empathy with clear, tactful honesty and accountability, and she emphasizes mutual respect and compassion in the therapeutic relationship.

Megan encourages clients to be candid about what is and is not working in therapy, and she supports people in taking ownership of their treatment and developing skills to advocate for themselves. She also acknowledges the human reality of imperfection and the fact that everyone makes mistakes, using that understanding to guide nonjudgmental, practical work.

Her clinical practice integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, psycho-education, motivational interviewing, and humanistic approaches to help clients identify origins of struggle, build coping strategies, and move forward with actionable solutions. Her goal is to empower individuals to strengthen what is working well in their lives and to change what is not.

She is based in New York and looks forward to beginning a therapeutic journey with new clients.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people want to know whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, remote therapy has been found to be comparably effective to traditional in-person care.

One key benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Another advantage is continuity of care: licensed professionals provide treatment remotely, and if a different therapeutic fit is desired at any time, clients can switch therapists. For many people, that combination of accessibility and professional support makes online therapy a practical option for addressing everyday mental health needs.
