About Megan

Megan Bettenberg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and LGBTQ concerns. Her aim is to help people build skills and feel more in control of everyday life.

She takes a person-centered approach that begins by listening. Megan helps clients notice strengths they already have and use those to face hard moments. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with clear steps to try between meetings.

Megan often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change them. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are mixed in when useful to support focus and motivation.

Clients working on ADHD can expect help building routines, improving focus, and practicing self-regulation strategies. People dealing with codependency or attachment concerns can work on boundaries and clearer communication with supportive guidance.

Across therapy, Megan keeps goals concrete and measurable. She frames progress as small steps that add up. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on practical tools that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting your own goals. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your pace, helps you set aims, and checks in about what feels useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Online CBT often uses worksheets, short experiments, and homework to practice new skills between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These skills can be taught and practiced during remote sessions and reinforced with brief exercises for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or a person-centered style fits best. That choice is based on your goals, day-to-day needs, and what feels most helpful in session, and it can change over time.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling. Some people find shorter check-ins useful on busy days, while others prefer a full session to work through skills and planning. Discuss format preferences when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
