Megan Bartz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and major life changes including pregnancy and childbirth. She brings a calm, straightforward presence to sessions and emphasizes honest, person-first care. Megan focuses on helping people find hope and practical ways to move forward.

She draws on client-centered work to create a trusting space where people can talk openly about what matters most to them. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions, and then try different ways of thinking to change outcomes. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are woven in when helpful to build momentum and present-moment coping skills.

With ten years of experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings, Megan has supported people facing substance use challenges and mood disorders. She aims to treat concerns in a whole-person way, listening for what each person needs and adapting her approach to fit their goals. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and rebuilding hope.

Megan works from New York and holds the credential LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are conducted in English. She emphasizes collaboration and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

To begin, people are encouraged to identify what they want to change or understand better, and then Megan helps map out manageable next steps. Her priority is helping clients discover what brings them renewed purpose and steadier emotional ground.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Megan blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools to address everyday struggles. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, honoring each person's experience, and building a trusting relationship that helps people speak honestly about their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the thoughts that influence feelings and behaviors and teaches practical ways to try new patterns that lead to different outcomes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean a mix of listening, skills practice, and brief experiments between sessions so people can see what helps in daily life.
