Margot Myers

Margot Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 29 years of experience in the field. She is based in Pennsylvania and lists life purpose among the areas she focuses on. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, career uncertainty, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach centers on working together to set clear goals. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and on talking through what is getting in the way of change. She uses a mix of Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing depending on the person and the issue.

Myers gained her master’s degree in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and has worked in community settings, schools, outpatient programs, and university settings. Much of her practice has involved trauma, mood disorders, and transitions across the life span. She also notes experience with parenting stress, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and first responder concerns.

She describes therapy as a collaborative effort where the client helps shape goals and direction. The writing emphasizes straightforward action and respect for each person’s experience. Myers identifies as LGBTQI+ affirming.

People often come to her with relationship problems, grief, self-esteem concerns, ADHD-related struggles, or questions about life purpose and midlife choices. She works to combine talk-based strategies with targeted techniques such as CBT and EMDR when appropriate.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the site’s matching process and schedule an initial session so they can discuss goals and the best next steps together.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can decide what matters most and set personal goals. It helps with uncertainty, life purpose questions, and relationship struggles by keeping the client's priorities central.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines and uses specific exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or stress. It often includes homework and short practical tasks between sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used with trauma that combines focused attention on memories with guided bilateral stimulation. It is commonly chosen for people dealing with past trauma or persistent distress linked to upsetting events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try approaches that match the client's goals, preferences, and the specific concerns raised. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as progress is tracked.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to schedule. These practical benefits help people keep momentum while they work on stress, life changes, trauma, or career questions.
