About Megan
Megan Bettenberg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, and LGBTQ-related issues. She focuses on practical steps to feel more confident and balanced at work and in everyday life. Megan takes a strengths-based, person-centered approach and aims to make each session feel like a collaborative conversation.
She draws on five years of clinical experience to tailor sessions to goals that matter to each person. Many conversations include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning new ways to manage intense feelings. Megan often works on building focus and self-regulation skills that can be useful for people with attention challenges.
Megan uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to turn insights into action. She also integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people find what keeps them motivated and grounded. Sessions are shaped around the person’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda.
The therapist emphasizes empathy and practical skill-building. People can expect to talk through current struggles, practice coping strategies, and set small, manageable steps toward change. She frames progress as steady work rather than instant fixes.
If someone wants to begin, they follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability. The approach is collaborative, and Megan will adjust techniques to fit each person’s needs and goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Megan commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in conversation and skill-building. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the person’s priorities and strengths, letting the therapist listen, reflect, and help set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful habits.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can be useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and interpersonal stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Megan collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and current challenges. She adjusts techniques over time as needs change so the plan stays practical and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session format options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If camera use is difficult, some formats can work without video; confirm available options when you book.
