About Megan
Megan Bartz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and major life changes. She works with people facing grief, trauma, caregiver strain, and questions about purpose and career. Megan practices in New York and brings a calm, straightforward approach to sessions.
Megan believes the counseling relationship matters most. She aims to be genuine and offers unconditional positive regard while listening to each person's needs.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping clients find hope and clearer direction during hard periods. In sessions she uses client-centered methods that let people guide the conversation. She also draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy to show how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and to try practical ways of changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Megan brings ten years of clinical experience in outpatient and inpatient settings working with mental health and substance use concerns. That experience informs how she tailors support for different challenges, from mood disorders and bipolar to drug and alcohol addiction. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
She treats people as the experts on their lives while offering a fresh perspective and tools to make change. The focus is on small, manageable steps that match each person's goals.

How Megan’s approaches translate to online therapy
Megan combines client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people make concrete changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the person, which helps when someone is sorting through emotions or life decisions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to try different responses, which can help with anxiety, anger, mood swings, and addictive patterns.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Megan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance means the plan can shift if something isn’t working or if priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversational work and structured exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy day and to keep momentum toward the goals discussed in sessions.
