Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Margie draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide her work with clients. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports clients as they explore their own values and solutions - it is helpful for individuals seeking a safe place to process emotions and increase self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and improve mood, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers structured skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be valuable for managing intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Margie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and involves clients in decisions about treatment direction so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Margie offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these remote formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented support while honoring each client’s pace and priorities.
