Megan Bettenberg, LPC

Megan Bettenberg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people build on their strengths to navigate life’s difficulties. She practices from a person-centered, strengths-based perspective that emphasizes each individual’s existing resources and capacity for growth, guiding clients to access those strengths while offering steady therapeutic support.

Megan works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and LGBTQ2IA+ related concerns, and she provides targeted support for clients with ADHD who want practical coping strategies to improve focus and self-regulation. Her practice also addresses a range of interpersonal and mood-related issues including attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, domestic violence recovery, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with guilt or shame.

Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Megan helps clients notice and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop skills for emotional regulation and healthier behavioral choices. She collaborates with each person to tailor sessions to their goals and priorities, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental approach aimed at steady, sustainable change. Prospective clients are invited to reach out to learn more or to arrange an initial appointment.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Megan regularly uses client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s goals and lived experience and helps people feel heard as they explore values, strengths, and solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, clarifying life purpose, and strengthening motivation.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical method often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are incorporated to develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for mood challenges and intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan works together with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support meaningful progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care and adaptable scheduling.
