About Margaret

Margaret McFadden is a licensed counselor practicing in South Carolina with two decades of experience in the mental health field. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions, and she shapes conversations and care around each person’s specific needs.

Background and approach

Her licensed credentials include LPC and LCMHC, reflecting training and practice across regional standards. Her approach blends practical problem-solving with a respectful, empathetic stance that centers the client’s perspective.

She adapts treatment plans and session style to the individual, aiming to support motivation, build confidence, and improve coping skills over time. Seeking change can feel daunting, and she frames her role as a collaborator who supports and empowers clients as they take steps toward more satisfying routines and relationships.

Margaret works with clients primarily in English and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules and preferences. Her practice emphasizes clear communication, sensitivity, and a tailored plan for people facing stressors or emotional challenges, with flexibility to match each person’s pace and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access



Margaret uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach focuses on practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration to create a supportive space where clients’ goals and values guide the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Margaret treats that decision as collaborative. She will work with the client to explore which methods feel most useful, adjusting interventions based on changing needs, goals, and preferences rather than adhering rigidly to a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into a busy life or to continue care from different locations within her accepted region. These options allow for regular check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and multiple ways to communicate so clients can select formats that suit their comfort and schedule.
