About Margarette
Margarette Charles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and concerns about intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports those adjusting to major life changes and navigating low motivation or confidence.
Her approach is respectful and compassionate. She listens first and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Clients can expect straight talk, practical steps, and a plan shaped around their goals.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on what feels most pressing. That might include coping strategies for panic or managing seasonal lows. She also addresses relationship communication, commitment questions, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.
Margarette has worked with mood disorders, postpartum depression, and issues tied to pregnancy and childbirth. She also attends to feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness, and isolation. Aging and geriatric concerns are among her additional focuses.
People who face prejudice or discrimination, or who struggle with finding life purpose, can bring those topics into the room. She provides practical steps for day-to-day coping and longer-term planning. Margarette aims to make the first steps into therapy feel doable and clear.
How therapeutic approaches translate online
Margarette uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. One approach focuses on identifying patterns that keep anxiety and panic going and then practicing different responses to those triggers. This helps reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks and overwhelming worry. Another approach emphasizes mood management and behavior activation - setting small, achievable activities that restore routine and lift low mood over time.Choosing the best approach happens together. The therapist will ask about symptoms, goals, and day-to-day routines, then try strategies that fit the client’s preferences. Sessions can shift as needs change, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what should be adjusted.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is helpful for full conversations and visual rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between calls and flexibility for people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and life demands.
