About Megan
Megan Bettenberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD. She also lists guilt and shame among the issues she addresses.
Megan uses a person-centered approach that focuses on each person's strengths. Sessions emphasize listening and practical steps rather than long lectures. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and develops small skills for managing strong feelings.
Her work often uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are part of how she helps someone gain clarity and momentum.
Megan supports people who struggle with attachment questions, codependency, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She addresses specific concerns such as forgiveness, control issues, money worries, and lingering shame related to past actions.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Megan helps people choose practical coping strategies and then practices those skills in session. To begin, the reader is asked to follow the platform steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Megan commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain distress; it helps with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive guilt. DBT provides concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating crisis moments, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting strategies as progress is made. The aim is to try practical tools and see what helps in everyday life rather than sticking rigidly to one model.
