About Megan
Megan Bartz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, mood struggles, and family-related difficulties. She brings a direct, person-focused style to sessions and aims to help clients find hope and clearer direction. Her approach emphasizes listening first and responding to what each person actually needs.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. That means being genuine, offering acceptance, and treating the client as the expert on their own life. Megan also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, then practices new ways of thinking to change outcomes.
Across ten years in outpatient and inpatient settings, she has worked with people facing mental health and substance use disorders. That background informs a practical focus on coping skills, communication, and decisions around recovery and caregiving responsibilities. Megan aims to help clients identify what gives them hope and motivates change.
In sessions she prioritizes clear listening and a collaborative planning style. Conversations often move between exploring difficult feelings and trying concrete strategies to manage them. The goal is steady progress toward better day-to-day functioning and stronger choices.
Megan welcomes questions about the therapy process and invites prospective clients to describe the challenges they face. She helps people figure out next steps and supports them as they work toward more stability and purpose.
How her approaches guide online care
Megan uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core influences in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being genuine, offering unconditional positive regard, and listening closely so the client can explore their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and practices small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and then try methods that seem most useful. Adjustments are expected over time as the client and therapist learn what works best together.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that having sessions arranged around work, caregiving, or medical appointments helps therapy become part of day-to-day life rather than an extra burden.
