About Margaret

Prof. Margaret Anzalone draws on a client-centered, evidence-informed approach that emphasizes collaboration and practical tools to address stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

With 31 years of practice as a LICSW and LCSW, she blends compassionate listening with goal-oriented techniques to help clients identify patterns, develop coping skills, and pursue meaningful change.

Her work spans many concerns including relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career transitions, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. She incorporates cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices alongside solution-focused methods to tailor interventions to each person's needs and priorities.

Based in Maine, Margaret brings extensive experience supporting clients through midlife shifts, recovery from substance use, panic and post-traumatic stress, and challenges such as compassion fatigue and caregiving strain. She accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to fit diverse schedules.

Her style is professional yet approachable, aiming to meet people where they are and work together toward clearer direction and steadier functioning.

Integrating Practical Therapies in Remote Sessions

Client-centered therapy places the person's perspective and priorities at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and collaboration to help clients explore values and goals; it is useful for navigating identity, relationship, and life-change issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, panic, and difficulties with attention. Mindfulness therapy builds present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotional regulation and coping with overwhelming feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist treats that decision as collaborative. She will review goals, preferences, and practical needs with clients and adapt methods from client-centered, CBT, and mindfulness frameworks to fit the situation and pace that feels most helpful.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support across distances. These options provide scheduling flexibility and allow therapeutic work to continue for clients who travel, live internationally, or prefer remote contact, while preserving the focus on skill-building, insight, and achievable goals.
