More about Margaret

  • LMHC

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Some are contemplating making changes in their life, some are actively in the process of adopting new behaviors and still others have made changes and are looking to maintain those gains. Whatever stage you find yourself, I can help. I bring 15 years of experience working internationally and a mental health background in hospitals and agency settings I have a diverse background and experience working in a variety of cultures. As a therapist I focus on CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) with a solutions based approach that allows clients to set SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely) goals.

Before beginning our work together we will sit down and discuss any questions or concerns. We will then outline your goals and begin to identify ways to achieve those goals. Questions such as “what does success look like to you?” and “how will you know when you have achieved that goal?” will become important benchmarks in our process. Once we know what we are working towards we can come up with a timeline that will allow us to commit to the all important resource of time, needed to make change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
