About Megan

Megan Bettenberg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, ADHD challenges, or issues related to being LGBT. Her approach centers on each person’s strengths and practical ways to build confidence and motivation.

In sessions she listens without judgment and works alongside clients to set clear, useful goals. She uses straightforward tools to spot unhelpful thinking and to practice new ways of coping. The focus is on small, steady steps that add up to better day-to-day functioning.

Megan combines client-centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. That means she helps people notice thoughts and feelings, test them, and try concrete strategies for change. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when they fit a client’s goals.

She often supports people working on attention and self-regulation skills, and she helps clients strengthen relationships and communication. Other areas she addresses include caregiver stress, codependency, money and life-purpose concerns, and feelings of isolation or guilt.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions are tailored to what a person needs that week, whether that’s skill practice, problem solving, or short-term focus on a specific issue. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Megan’s approaches translate to online work

Megan often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts, then trying new behaviors to see what changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and low self esteem. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation and practical coping skills, which can help with intense emotions, overwhelm, and attention-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day needs. That means trying strategies together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan when needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also allow for shorter or more focused sessions when a brief skill practice or a quick problem-solving visit is a better fit for someone’s schedule.
