About Megan

Megan Bettenberg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience helping people build on their existing strengths to face life’s challenges. She practices from a person-centered, strengths-based perspective that emphasizes clients’ inner resources and resilience, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental atmosphere for exploration and growth.

Megan works with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and issues related to LGBTQ2IA+ identity. She also supports people managing ADHD by teaching practical coping strategies to improve focus and self-regulation. Her work extends to areas such as attachment struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and mood concerns.

Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Megan helps clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and practice new behavioral strategies that support lasting change. She combines these approaches with client-centered principles so that therapy is tailored to each person’s goals and preferences. As an LPC, Megan holds a professional counseling license in Colorado and applies evidence-informed techniques to guide collaborative, goal-focused work.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own strengths and goals, creating a supportive environment where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their values and choices. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, clarifying life purpose, and working through identity-related concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test them against real-life evidence. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and symptoms related to ADHD to create measurable shifts in thinking and behavior.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal communication. DBT strategies can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-defeating patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors treatment using one or more of these methods so therapy fits the individual’s life and priorities.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to access regular support, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care without travel, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt their methods to the online format.
