About Megan

Megan Bartz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She has ten years of clinical experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. Megan focuses on meeting each person where they are and creating a respectful, honest space to talk about what's hard.

She emphasizes a person-centered approach, offering genuine listening and steady support. Megan believes the relationship between therapist and client matters most and aims to help people find sources of hope that motivate change.

Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients see how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors and to practice new ways of responding. In sessions she takes a practical, down-to-earth tone. Conversations look at daily struggles, patterns that keep problems going, and small experiments to try between meetings.

She pays attention to the whole person and to how stress or caregiving demands can wear someone down. Megan has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings, giving her experience with mental health and substance use concerns. That background informs how she helps people navigate grief, trauma, relationship strain, career questions, and mood disorders.

She aims to tailor strategies to each person’s needs and goals. People who meet with Megan can expect collaborative planning, clear tools from CBT, and an emphasis on strengthening coping and communication. Her focus is on practical change and on helping clients move toward greater self-awareness and more manageable day-to-day living.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. In an online setting this looks like open conversations about what matters most to you and collaborative goal-setting to guide sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns that influence feelings and actions, and then practices new ways of thinking and behaving. Online CBT often includes concrete exercises and short homework tasks that are easy to review over video or messaging.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending person-centered listening with CBT exercises or adding mindfulness techniques over time.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a less formal check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, or carry out brief check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue progress from different locations.
