Megan Bettenberg, LPC

Megan Bettenberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ-related concerns, low self-esteem, and the challenges of ADHD. Her style is calm and collaborative, aimed at building practical skills rather than offering quick fixes.

She uses a person-centered approach that starts with strengths. Sessions focus on what a person already does well, then build on those abilities. Megan pairs that stance with concrete tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when intense emotions or regulation difficulties get in the way. Those skills teach ways to tolerate distress, manage strong feelings, and improve everyday functioning. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Megan also uses Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people find motivation and set small, achievable goals. The work is collaborative - goals and pacing are decided together so progress feels realistic and sustainable.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Sessions are scheduled through the platform after completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a time that suits the client.

Practical approaches you can use online

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach is useful for stress, worry, and many mood concerns.

DBT emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance. It teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication when feelings run high. These skills can help when emotions interfere with daily life or relationships.

Megan brings these approaches together in a collaborative way. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Figuring out the right mix of tools is part of the therapy process.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging supports brief check-ins or continued practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
