About Margaret
Margaret Doman is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of practice. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, and relationship problems. People who come to her often want practical ways to manage emotions and get unstuck from repeating patterns such as codependency or difficulty setting boundaries.
She uses straightforward conversation and listening to help people identify what matters to them. Sessions aim to build on strengths and create small, manageable steps toward change. Margaret emphasizes understanding the whole person and how life circumstances affect mood and behavior.
Her background includes leadership roles in outpatient substance abuse treatment, adolescent respite and treatment programs, and children's mental health services. That work involved case management, therapeutic counseling, and supervising teams who supported children facing trauma, separation, or displacement.
Margaret integrates several evidence-informed approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. She adapts techniques to each person's needs rather than following a single formula.
Her practice reflects decades of experience across diverse cultural and community settings. Sessions are aimed at helping people move from feeling overwhelmed toward clearer goals, better coping skills, and improved relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns like codependency where values and actions are out of sync.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches skills to test unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions, and build routines that reduce anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It can help when emotions feel intense or relationships are repeatedly difficult.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it may allow shorter check-ins around work, reduce travel time, or let someone join from a quieter space with less interruption. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, practice new behaviors, and support progress between meetings.
