About Megan

Hi, I’m Megan Variano, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Clinical Addictions Specialist, and Certified Clinical Supervisor. I am also the owner of Finding Balance Life Counseling.

In 2008, I graduated from East Carolina University with Dual Master’s Degrees in Rehabilitation Counseling and Substance Abuse Counseling, and obtained further training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT Therapy, and EMDR.

My clinical experience & expertise includes counseling adults and adolescents (13 yrs & older) with general mental health concerns, addiction issues, family and relationship issues, life transitions, eating disorders, and resolution of past traumas.

I use an eclectic counseling approach, rooted in the DBT & CBT framework, using mindfulness and reality based techniques. I also provide EMDR treatment to address multiple issues, including trauma, grief, and anxiety. My goal is to help you learn skills and tools to work toward improving your life, while offering a validating, supportive, and safe environment.

I firmly believe that every individual has the ability to make better decisions that can lead to happier & more satisfying lives, and I would be honored to be a part of this process!
