About Margot
Margot Williams is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 25 years of experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and family separation.

Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and paced to match what each person can manage. Margot draws on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice values and take meaningful action.
Mindfulness practices are taught in simple ways people can use between sessions. Attachment-based methods guide work around connection, loss, and relationship struggles. This helps when past family experiences affect current relationships or parenting.
She pays close attention to cultural context and asks questions rather than assuming. Her background includes long experience with foster care, adoption, caregiver stress, and grief. Margot aims to make starting therapy feel less daunting by offering a compassionate, steady presence.
She is based in Ohio and conducts sessions verbally and through messaging formats.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deep work.
