More about Margherita
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC
As a therapist, I am attentive to my clients' thoughts, emotions, and physical bodies, as I believe all are intricately connected and affect one another. I am also sensitive to and respect the action of unconscious processes within the self and in relationships. I specialize in working with adults, individually and in couples. My experience is with people from widely diverse backgrounds in community settings. My clients have included artists, addicts, first responders, and those who have suffered from trauma of all kinds. When we meet, I will welcome you with deep-hearted attentiveness. I will accept you as you are, and I will support you in your healing and growth.

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.
