Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Margaret commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and then practice practical ways to challenge and change those patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people resolve uncertainty and strengthen their own motivation for change, often useful for addiction, ambivalence, and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Margaret works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors each plan to the individual, drawing from evidence-informed techniques while keeping the client’s priorities central to the work.

Online therapy with Margaret is available in multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or other convenient locations, while working with licensed professionals who guide the process and support progress over time.
