More about Margaret
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), for over 20 years, specializing in life coaching, sexual assault, and abuse recovery, and counseling families with special needs members. I have supported many clients during their most challenging life experiences.
I enjoy practicing Client-Centered Therapy, counseling each of my clients, by being genuine, from a place of empathy and congruence; agreement, harmony, and compatibility. Most importantly, I believe in treating every client with unconditional positive regard, showing nonjudgemental understanding towards every clients’ concerns, with a humanistic approach. I guide each client through their self-discovery and support them in finding the answers they are seeking.
Some of the outcomes I seek for every client are increased self-awareness, improved individual self-direction, better personal clarity, an improvement in self-esteem, and a boost of self-reliance.
I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

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.

Extremely thankful for Margaret's wisdom, expertise and support!
Thank you :) You've helped me a lot
Margaret has helped me through one of my most trying times in life very supportive understanding. Very thoughtful and always checks up and reaches out.
Margaret's encouraging, supportive, kind, nurturing and evidence-based approach has been extremely helpful for me. After talking with a few different therapists on the Betterhelp platform in my search for a high quality, non-judgmental, competent, knowledgable, and respectful therapist, I really come to appreciate Margaret's approach and style with her client. I'm so glad that we got connected and matched. Now I'm actually looking forward to the upcoming sessions!
One of the most wonderful and most supportive therapist I have had! She has helped me through a tough time, continues to and I would recommend her to anyone who needs support.
