Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Margot uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom relief. One common approach she applies involves teaching coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to reduce avoidance. These tools help when anxiety and panic attacks interrupt daily life.Another approach centers on building self-esteem and addressing shame through behavioral experiments and reflective exercises. This work helps people gradually change self-critical thoughts and try new behaviors that reinforce self-worth. For trauma-related symptoms she combines stabilizing strategies with paced processing so emotional reactions become more manageable.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Margot works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, pace, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide quick access between sessions and a low-pressure way to share updates or practice new skills. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work consistently.
