The verb 'berücksichtigen' (to consider/take into account) is derived from the noun 'die Rücksicht' (consideration). 'Rücksicht nehmen' means to think of others or of certain circumstances. 'Berücksichtigen' is the verbal form of actively including this circumstance in an action.
Ein guter Planer berücksichtigt alle möglichen Probleme.
A good planner considers all possible problems.
'Berücksichtigen' is an inseparable verb because it begins with 'be-'. The prefix remains firmly attached to the verb stem in all conjugations and sentence forms.
Er hat meine Wünsche bei der Planung nicht berücksichtigt.
He did not consider my wishes in the planning.
'Berücksichtigen' is a transitive verb and always requires an accusative object. This object is the thing or circumstance that is included in the considerations.
Wir müssen die neuen Informationen berücksichtigen.
We have to consider the new information.
This verb is often combined with abstract nouns such as 'Faktoren' (factors), 'Aspekte' (aspects), 'Umstände' (circumstances), 'Bedürfnisse' (needs), or 'Interessen' (interests).
Bei der Entscheidung müssen die Interessen aller Mitarbeiter berücksichtigt werden.
The interests of all employees must be considered in the decision.

Both words can play a role in a decision. „Bedenken“ refers to doubts, worries, or objections to an option. „Berücksichtigen“ neutrally means including a factor in one's plans or decision. Use „Bedenken“ when the assessment is critical or concerned.
Bei der Entscheidung berücksichtigte sie die hohen Kosten.
She took the high costs into account when making the decision.
Bei der Entscheidung hatte sie Bedenken wegen der hohen Kosten.
She had concerns about the high costs when making the decision.
