About Megan
Megan Bettenberg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and LGBTQ concerns. She focuses on boosting self-esteem and practical coping skills so clients can handle daily challenges more easily.
Megan uses a person-centered approach that treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions aim to find and build on each person's strengths. Conversations are guided by curiosity and respect rather than judgement.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness tools to change unhelpful thinking and improve emotional regulation. Those methods are applied in simple, concrete steps so people can practice new skills between appointments.
Megan also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people clarify goals and take manageable steps toward them. For people with ADHD she works on focus, organization, and self-regulation strategies that fit daily routines.
In sessions clients can expect a collaborative tone, practical skill-building, and attention to what matters most to them. Megan has five years of clinical experience and works in English in Colorado. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Approaches and online care that focus on skills and goals
Client-centered work means sessions start with the client's priorities and move at their pace. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people notice their strengths and values so change feels doable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related patterns by turning ideas into concrete experiments and small practice exercises.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. It teaches step-by-step skills people can use when feelings become intense or when relationships feel overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This happens in conversation and can be adjusted over time.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone continue sessions when life or location changes, while keeping the focus on practical skill building and real-world progress.
