About Megan
Megan Bettenberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, and LGBTQ concerns. She also addresses codependency, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and difficulties with communication and commitment.
Megan uses a person-centered style that starts with listening. She helps people notice strengths they already have and uses those strengths to tackle small, practical goals. Sessions focus on skills for managing emotions, improving focus, and changing the thinking patterns that keep people stuck.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and reshape unhelpful thoughts. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change.
In a typical session Megan talks through what is most pressing and then works on one or two concrete steps to try between meetings. She teaches coping strategies for anxiety and ADHD, and communication skills for setting boundaries or handling conflict. The approach is collaborative and practical rather than abstract.
Megan practices in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. Her work often helps people who repeatedly put others first, struggle to say no, or live with the fallout of someone else’s moods or substance use. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Megan uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s concerns, offering reflections and support to help clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings specific tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can help people who struggle with overwhelm, impulsivity, or frequent conflict. Megan will work with each person to identify which methods suit their goals and mix approaches as needed in a collaborative way.
Confirm the session formats before scheduling since the biography does not list exact options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also let people practice skills in their daily environment and bring real situations into discussion. The therapist will help match goals and practical needs to an appropriate way of meeting online.
