About Margaret
Margaret Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting challenges, and related issues like self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her work also includes trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and support for LGBT clients and women.
Margaret centers sessions on the person's own goals and strengths. She treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them build on what already works.
Background and approach
She values direct conversations and practical steps that fit day-to-day life. In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness to help people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward valued actions.
The Gottman Method informs her approach to relationship and communication work. Clients can expect clear, simple strategies and space to talk through what matters most. Margaret often focuses on improving communication, repairing attachment patterns, and clarifying priorities during life transitions.
She aims for short, manageable homework between meetings so progress continues outside sessions. Her practice offers a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who want a goal-oriented, collaborative counselor who uses practical strategies may find this approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then move toward actions that reflect their values. This can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which supports emotion regulation and coping.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can mix techniques over time so care stays aligned with what the person wants to accomplish.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical benefits. Video sessions are good for visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
