About Megan
Megan Bettenberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, and LGBTQ-related questions. She also helps people who are feeling empty, isolated, or unsure about what comes next in life purpose and direction.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and to build emotion regulation. She also draws on client-centered and motivational approaches to keep conversations focused on the client's own goals.
Megan helps people build better coping strategies for day-to-day life. For clients with ADHD she works on focus, self-regulation, and routines that reduce overwhelm. She addresses communication problems, control issues, codependency, and the strain that caregiving can cause.
She brings a straightforward, collaborative style to sessions. Conversations are aimed at identifying small, doable changes and practicing skills between meetings. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and practical problem solving.
Megan uses mindfulness techniques to help with grounding and noticing thoughts without judgment. She applies solution-focused questions when people need to get unstuck and move toward clearer next steps. The emphasis is on what can be changed now and how to make those changes sustainable.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Megan combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts that worsen mood or anxiety and testing different, more helpful ways of thinking. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing unhelpful patterns that get in the way of daily life.DBT offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It can help when strong emotions lead to impulsive actions or when relationships feel stuck. Both approaches include exercises you can practice between sessions to build new habits.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing fits best for their goals. The plan can shift as needs and priorities change.
