Meg has been an incredible guiding light for me. I like to think she stands at the end of the hallway with a lantern so I can work my way through something, but she can help me find the exit. Thanks Meg.

More about Megan

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

Hello! My name is Megan Bartz and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have over 3 years of experience working with individuals in outpatient and inpatient settings who are struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. I am passionate about treating individuals holistically and believe that the counseling relationship is one of the main vehicles for change as it provides a safe place for individuals to process and progress. I am person-centered and believe in not only being genuine with everyone I work with, but also treating you with unconditional positive regard. Ultimately, one of my main goals in treatment is to help individuals discover what gives them hope as I believe that hope is imperative in order for change to occur. I also draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in order to help individuals discover how their thinking is affecting their emotions and their behaviors and then how to learn to think differently so that they may find a different outcome. Ultimately, I believe you are the expert on yourself and that it can also be helpful at times to have a fresh perspective to walk alongside you as you journey to a place of greater self-awareness. My main priority is listening to what your needs are and helping you find a way to make those a reality. I would love the opportunity to work with you, thank you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Megan Bartz is wonderful. I have only worked with her for a few weeks but she has really helped me identified some things I want to work through and has provided me with a ton of tools. I would recommend her to anyone!

S.O.·Aug 2020

Megan is so wonderful! She makes me feel understood and gives out fantastic resources for what I'm dealing with when its applicable. She is quick to respond and pays attention to everything I express. She is very present and makes me feel seen. I always look forward to our weekly call sessions. When I talk to her, I feel like I'm talking to a very close friend!

B.R.·Aug 2020

Megan has done an excellent job working with me to identify my stressors, implement strategies for change, and reflect on what works and what doesn't work. She is caring and compassionate and knows the right questions to ask to get to the bottom of what is going on. She is ultra responsive and has exceeded all expectations of what I thought online counseling would look like. She is flexible and willing to give you the amount of time you need. Person centered counselor, for sure and she is not kidding that she will treat you with unconditional positive regard.

M.A.·Jul 2020

Talking through my feelings, emotions, and embarrassments with Megan has helped me to focus on what really bothers me and what really matters. She’s patient and gives me a space to dump it all. She’s provided me with worksheets and processes to improve or change my negative thinking and in the last month, I’ve felt more proud and honored to love things about me that I thought met we’re lost.

N.I.·May 2020

Megan played a pivotal role in helping me work through my relationship problems and provided amazing insight on areas in which I wasn't fully self aware of. I would recommend her to anyone who is seeking advice on their relational issues and need an ear to listen.

W.I.·Jan 2020

Megan is very perceptive, understanding and emotionally intelligent. She challenges me consistently to help me get to my truest self. Remarkably, she is also honest about her own biases, which helps me understand where she is coming from.

A.B.·Nov 2019

I have tried counseling on and off many times. I have never made as much progress as I have with Megan. She is an incredible match for me and makes me happy I did not give up on counseling. She listens with compassion and without judgement. She makes me feel heard and helps me to consider my situation from additional perspectives. I look forward to continuing to work with her.
