Megan Bettenberg

Megan Bettenberg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD challenges, and LGBTQ-related concerns. She centers sessions on each person's strengths and works with them to build better focus, emotion regulation, and confidence. Conversations aim to be practical and supportive so people can make steady progress.

Her style is collaborative and person-centered. She listens first, then helps you notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on skills you can use outside of therapy, like breathing and attention strategies, clearer communication, and steps toward everyday goals.

Megan uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help address thoughts, emotions, and motivation. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and calmer reactions to stress.

With five years of experience, Megan focuses on real-life problems such as caregiver stress, codependency, communication breakdowns, control issues, feelings of emptiness, and relationship commitment worries. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, isolation, and financial stress that affects mood and daily functioning.

Sessions are shaped to match individual goals. Megan helps people set small, manageable steps and practices that fit their lives. To begin, visitors follow the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule based on availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Many of the approaches Megan uses can be adapted to an online setting in practical ways. Mindfulness Therapy involves gentle attention to the present moment and simple breathing or grounding practices to reduce reactivity and stress. This can help with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, and improving focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward exercises to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors.

The right approach often takes a few sessions to find. Megan works collaboratively to match techniques to each person's goals and daily life. She checks in together about what helps, adjusts methods, and sets concrete homework or practice tasks that suit the person's routine.

Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. It can also let people practice skills like mindfulness or breathing where they live and notice how techniques translate into daily situations. Licensed professionals arrange sessions to fit needs, goals, and preferences rather than forcing a single style.
