About Margot
She uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. Clients set goals and Margot helps them move toward those goals with techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness. She also brings experience with trauma-focused methods and EMDR for those coping with past hurts.
Margot earned her Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and is licensed in Pennsylvania and South Carolina as indicated by her credentials. Her career spans community settings, outpatient programs, schools, and universities. Over nearly three decades she has focused on trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions.
In the room she treats people as partners in a shared process. She listens, reflects, and offers tools that fit daily life. Sessions often blend talking, problem-solving, and skill practice so people can try new ways of coping between visits.
Margot is LGBTQI+ affirming and emphasizes authenticity and respect. If someone wants to explore change sooner rather than later, she encourages a first conversation to see whether her approach matches their needs.
How key approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's goals. The therapist helps people name what matters to them and supports them as they try new ways of coping or communicating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that best match those needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan people can commit to and use between sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific remote formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a consistent, calm space. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools so they work well across distance while keeping sessions focused on everyday changes and relationship goals.
