More about Margaret
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in New Jersey with over 10 years of experience working as an individual, family, and marriage counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and acceptance and commitment counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Thank you for great sessions.
Margaret was great to work with. She is very kind and validating. She also kept things real which I greatly appreciate. Though it was brief I really enjoyed my time with her!
Margaret has a wonderful, gentle approach to therapy. She will work with her clients to find common roots to help guide them to what techniques might be appropriate and comfortable for them. Margaret is very empathetic and compassionate by nature and always has a welcoming energy whenever I have a session with her. She has helped me find solutions to help myself cope with my anxiety and other stressors that have contributed to my anxiety. She truly is a wonderful therapist!
I have had a very positive experience with Margaret. She not only listens, but she hears you, and understands. She definitely has the ability to genuinely empathize, which is such a wonderful quality! I feel very comfortable sharing what is going on with her, as she comes across as nonjudgmental and genuine. She is great at coming up with suggested strategies for addressing concerns, and has really helped me to see things in a better light. I highly recommend Margaret!
