About Megan
Megan Bartz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with over 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, mood disorders, and pregnancy and childbirth concerns.
Megan’s approach centers on listening first and clarifying what matters to each person. She practices client-centered therapy and speaks plainly with clients about their goals. Sessions focus on identifying what gives someone hope and building on that as a source of motivation.
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. That often means trying new ways of thinking and practicing small behavioral changes to see different outcomes. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice moments of tension or anger without getting swept up in them.
Megan has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings with people who have co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. Her background includes ten years helping clients manage cravings, reduce harmful patterns, and develop steadier routines. She values clear, practical steps alongside open conversation.
In sessions she aims to be genuine and direct, treating clients with respect and acceptance. People who come to her can expect straightforward listening, reflection on patterns, and hands-on strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Megan draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to structure online work. Client-Centered Therapy means she starts by listening closely and reflecting what matters to the client, which helps set clear, practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing different behaviors to change how someone feels.Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust techniques over time, combining talk, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices based on what is most useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays or caregiver schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let a person practice skills in everyday settings and then discuss how those attempts went in the next appointment.
