About Megan
Megan Bettenberg, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and ADHD. She focuses on issues that often come up with identity and relationships, including questions that are common for LGBTQ people. Her approach is straightforward and centered on the person sitting in front of her.
Megan uses a strengths-based, client-centered style to build on what already works for each person. She listens first, then helps set small, clear goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical skills for attention, mood, and managing worry. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect mood and behavior. Megan also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation and interpersonal skills.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are woven in when helpful. Megan has five years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Colorado. She focuses on simple, usable strategies rather than jargon, and adjusts tools to fit a client’s routine and life demands.
Typical sessions involve setting one or two practical targets, trying an exercise together, and planning small steps to practice between meetings. This pace is intended to make change feel manageable and realistic. People who reach out can expect a collaborative tone and a focus on skills for day-to-day life, from managing focus to strengthening self-worth and coping with stress.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, so sessions start with what matters most to the client and build goals from there. This approach helps people feel understood and involved in deciding what to try next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches simple techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, and attention-related challenges by breaking big problems into small, everyday steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for quick questions, brief skill practice, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
