How her approaches shape online sessions
Margaret uses Existential Therapy to explore questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. That approach is about clarifying values and identifying practical steps when life feels unsettled or directionless. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, which aims to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories through structured processing techniques.Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. Margaret will discuss the methods that fit the client's goals and preferences and adjust the plan as work proceeds. The first sessions often focus on goals, safety, and which techniques feel most helpful.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work or family commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when bandwidth is low. Licensed professionals can adapt EMDR and existential work to remote sessions with planning and preparation.
