Background and approach
Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck and want to build forward movement. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat over time. With 27 years of experience, Margot has seen a wide range of concerns.
She has supported people facing caregiver strain, codependency, communication problems, and issues related to pregnancy, postpartum, or domestic violence. Immigration and multicultural concerns are also part of her practice. People can expect clear goals and short-term strategies along with space to talk about deeper patterns.
Margot emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist set goals together and track progress. The work aims to build skills for handling panic attacks, social anxiety, and everyday stressors.
Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and depression because it breaks problems into concrete steps and practice tasks.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress. It involves short exercises people can do between sessions to calm anxiety and stay present.
Motivational Interviewing centers on building a person’s own reasons for change. It helps when someone feels stuck or has trouble starting new habits by drawing out their goals and strengths.
Margot will work together with each person to find the right mix of approaches. She listens to goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try and adjusts them based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face, phone uses less bandwidth, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy days.
