About Megan

Megan Bettenberg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and LGBTQ concerns. She focuses on practical skills and steady support so people can manage daily challenges and feel more capable. Sessions aim to identify strengths people already have and build on them with clear, achievable steps.

Megan uses a person-centered style that keeps the client in charge of goals. She listens closely and works alongside each person to set small, realistic steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. These skills can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when reactions interfere with relationships and work. Mindfulness practices come into sessions as brief exercises to increase moment-to-moment awareness and calm.

Megan brings five years of clinical experience to her practice and uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. That approach supports building motivation in a nonjudgmental way and makes goals feel more attainable.

People can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist who breaks ideas into manageable steps. To start, readers should use the site Start Therapy button to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own goals. In practice this means the therapist reflects back concerns, asks what matters most, and helps set small, client-led steps toward change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that worsen depression and anxiety. Sessions include practical exercises and homework to try new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) introduces skills for regulating intense emotions and handling crisis moments with steadier responses. These skills can be helpful when strong feelings make day-to-day functioning harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful and realistic. This collaborative planning helps tailor methods to each person's needs.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to find an arrangement that fits daily routines.
