About Margaret
Margaret Wright is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns such as self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Background and approach
With six years of clinical experience, Margaret centers clients' strengths and perspectives while offering practical strategies to manage life changes and rebuild confidence. She emphasizes respectful collaboration and a belief that people hold important expertise about their own stories.
Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques with a warm, client-centered stance. Margaret draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance-based and skills-oriented methods to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and cultivate self-compassion.
She aims to create a supportive environment that encourages growth through both short-term problem solving and longer-term personal development. Margaret welcomes conversations about attachment, codependency, communication challenges, social anxiety and phobia, and women's and young adult issues.
Her practice is guided by empathy, active listening, and a focus on achievable steps toward greater well-being.
Approaches That Inform Online Care
Margaret commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or anxiety and teaching practical strategies to change those patterns. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals.She also uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes listening, empathy, and the client's own expertise about their life. Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process; Margaret will explore a client's needs, goals, and preferences together to determine which techniques and pace feel most helpful for them.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or work, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use tools that fit a client's day-to-day routine.
