  1. About Megan

    Megan Bartz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. Her work emphasizes listening closely and building a genuine therapeutic relationship to support change.

    Megan practices in New York and approaches care from a person-centered stance. She offers steady, nonjudgmental support and aims to help people identify what gives them hope. That hope then becomes a guide for practical steps forward.

    She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people see how thoughts influence feelings and actions and then try new ways of thinking. Megan incorporates Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to build their own reasons for taking steps toward those goals.

    Sessions focus on what the client needs in the moment. Megan listens, reflects, and offers strategies that match each person's goals and values. She encourages self-understanding and helps people find concrete tools for coping and decision making.

    Megan has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings with individuals facing mental health and substance use challenges. Her background informs a practical, grounded approach that blends empathy with clear, actionable steps. She asks questions, offers perspective, and walks alongside people as they work toward change.

  2. How these approaches translate to online work

    Megan draws on Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward, collaborative ways. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person clarify what they want to change and build their own motivation to take steps forward; it can be useful for substance use, behavior change, and sticking to goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, then teaches practical skills to try new responses for different outcomes.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made or goals change.

    The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people meet from whatever setting is most convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt Motivational Interviewing and CBT methods to work well in remote sessions, focusing on clear goals, homework practices, and gentle accountability.
