More about Margaret

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Welcome! My name is Margaret Millhench. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan for seven years. I have worked with college students and clients on a part-time basis from home. The presenting issues have included anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, career difficulties, relationship struggles and life changes to name a few. I also helped many women experiencing domestic violence and sexual assault.

My counseling style is humanistic and person centered with a holistic approach using the body with the mind. Emotional blocks are held in the body from past traumas. In the beginning, depending on your real needs and readiness, we would work to develop trust and support with coping skills. I would use centering and grounding techniques to help create a sense of safety. Eventually, I would use psycho-dynamic, somatic and mindfulness techniques to help express the language of the body. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. Treatment would follow your real needs.

I hope to have the opportunity to meet you!

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.

I was divinely directed to Margaret, as I was looking for an ex-therapist of mine when she and I became matched. I am so grateful! Margaret actually understands me and all I've experienced. She is super supportive ~ not to mention learned. It's like I signed up for classes in this life that I had no previous grounding in. Margaret is the tutor who guides me to the understanding of big life lessons by making them simple and straightforward. In my 35 years of seeking therapy off-and-on, Margaret is by far the best therapist I've worked with. I cannot say enough about how she is helping me to work out severely harmful experiences going back 6 decades. It is really never too late!

Margaret's down-to-earth, wise and practical counselling methods began to help me immediately. She is skilled at getting right to the point of what I'm trying to communicate, which has proven so very important in the healing journey I'm undertaking with her. To feel understood and cared for is the foundation I've been seeking for decades. Together, we are cutting through blockages and revealing the truth at last. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am to have been matched with a therapist who "gets" me on such a deep level. On a scale of 1-10, Margaret rates an 11.

Reviewed November 2022

Margaret is a friendly, warm and welcoming therapist. I had done some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the past and thought I understood most of what could be useful to me concerning the nature of my anxiety and depression. However, Margaret's approach has helped me see new connections between my feelings, how they affect my body physically, and what deeper, underlying things might be going on that tie them all together. Her approach considers both the 'physical' and 'mental' side of things, which are so closely intertwined. I feel she has tailored the help she offers to suit my specific needs and personality, and works hard to get to know me so she can do so even more. She is a great listener, compassionate and respectful.

I have ONLY been with her for 2 weeks now and she has been amazing. She always targets the root cause of my thoughts and behaviour. I was struggling to comprehend my feelings and she is able to put things in perspective for me. She is able to point me in the right direction and helps me to go about like a little bit more happier. I am glad that I have her as a therapist and I hope to resolve a lot of my personal issues over time with her support and guidance. She is extremely responsive as well which is super comforting in times of need.
