Megan Bettenberg , LPC

Megan Bettenberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and LGBT concerns. She centers sessions on people’s strengths and works to help them use those strengths to handle hard moments. Her style is warm and direct, aiming to make therapy a practical part of life rather than something distant or clinical.

She draws on person-centered ideas that treat the client as the expert on their life. That means listening first, then offering tools that fit each person’s needs. Megan also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage intense emotions.

Sessions commonly include learning focused coping strategies, practicing emotional regulation, and building routines that support attention and motivation. For people with ADHD she helps create habits and systems to improve focus and follow-through. For clients dealing with low self-worth or identity questions, she supports clearer self-understanding and stronger boundaries.

Megan brings five years of clinical experience to her work and keeps things collaborative. She discusses options, tries approaches that match goals, and adjusts plans when something isn’t working. The aim is steady, useful progress rather than quick fixes.

People can expect straightforward, short-term skill building alongside deeper, longer-term personal work when it’s needed. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and treating the person as the expert on their life. It helps people feel heard and gain clarity before trying new skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps you make steady progress.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, short skill practice, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to schedule regular sessions and carry tools into daily life.
