Margot Myers, LCSW, LISW-CP

Margot Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and life changes. She works with clients who face mood concerns, relationship challenges, questions about identity, and the day-to-day weight of caregiving or chronic illness. Her approach emphasizes partnership and respect for each person's goals.

Margot earned a master’s degree in social work from Virginia Commonwealth University and holds credentials as an LCSW and an LISW-CP. She has nearly three decades of experience in community settings, including home-based care, outpatient programs, schools, and university clinics. Much of her practice has focused on trauma, mood disorders, and transitions in life.

In sessions she aims to tailor methods to each person's needs. She uses client-centered conversations to learn what matters most. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking, and on EMDR for people processing traumatic memories when that approach fits their goals.

Margot describes therapy as a collaborative process. She invites clients to set their own goals and to shape the pace of work. She affirms LGBTQI+ identities and attends to family-of-origin and blended family concerns when they affect the person in front of her.

Her practice pays attention to practical life problems as well as symptoms. That can mean coaching on career decisions, working through parenting stress, addressing compassion fatigue, or planning next steps after a loss. People who want to explore changes or recover from hurt can expect a steady, respectful partner in their work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist prioritizes your goals and follows your lead while gently offering feedback and options. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies patterns of thinking and behavior and provides practical exercises to change them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, works with distressing memories by using structured processing tasks alongside guided recall to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories when that fits the client's goals.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your symptoms, history, and what you want to change, then recommend methods and adjust them based on your feedback. That collaborative process makes it easier to find an approach you can stick with.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are currently offered. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives. Some formats are better for check-ins or brief coaching, while others suit longer processing work or exercises that involve worksheets or in-session practice. Discussing how sessions will be structured helps match practical needs like shorter check-ins, an audio-only option to reduce bandwidth, or a plan for longer sessions focused on trauma processing.
