About Margot

Margot Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of practice who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She supports those facing career shifts, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, and relationship or family difficulties. Margot affirms LGBTQI+ identities and aims to help people find a clearer path forward when things feel stuck.

She trained at Virginia Commonwealth University, earning a Master of Social Work, and holds credentials as LCSW and LISW-CP. Much of her work has taken place in community settings such as schools, outpatient programs, universities, and home-based care. That background gives her experience with trauma, mood disorders, and complex life changes.

Margot approaches therapy as a partnership. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s goals and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice patterns of thinking and on mindfulness practices to calm stress responses.

For people with past trauma, Margot has used Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing methods among other trauma-informed tools. She blends motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when people want practical steps and short-term goals. Sessions are tailored to the person’s needs rather than a single method.

Her style is respectful and straightforward. She invites collaboration and sets work toward goals that matter to the person seeking help. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling when they are ready to move forward.

How Margot’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy follows what matters to the person. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set goals that match their values and daily life. This approach fits issues like life changes, relationship stress, and clarity about direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and work stress. EMDR is a trauma-informed method that works with memories and distress; it can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions for some people when integrated thoughtfully into a treatment plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That might mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Since session formats are not specified here, confirm the current options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. The clinician will discuss practical arrangements and help match session length and timing to everyday life needs.
