About Megan
Megan Bartz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and related life challenges. She aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where people can talk through what feels hardest right now.
Megan works in both outpatient and inpatient settings and brings a practical, person-centered style to sessions. She listens first to understand each person's priorities and then helps set workable goals.
Background and approach
She focuses on hope and on small steps that lead to real change. Her approach often uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and then try different responses. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support change when someone feels stuck or uncertain about taking next steps.
Megan values genuineness and unconditional positive regard in the counseling relationship. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and offers a clear, nonjudgmental perspective to help them move forward. Practical problem solving and skill-building come together with listening and empathy in her sessions.
People who bring concerns like grief, trauma, relationship strain, caregiver stress, mood changes, anger, or questions about life purpose will find a steady, goal-oriented collaborator. Megan helps clients break big problems into manageable steps and build tools they can use between sessions.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Megan draws on client-centered therapy to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. That approach focuses on listening, understanding each person's goals, and tailoring support around what matters most. It helps when someone wants a nonjudgmental place to talk and to clarify priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT offers hands-on tools for anxiety, mood concerns, and unhelpful habits by teaching specific skills to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to help people find internal reasons to change and to strengthen commitment when motivation is mixed.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comforts. Video works well for deeper conversational work, phone can fit into a short break, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing accountability. These options make therapy more flexible and help people keep momentum between sessions.
