About Margaret

Margaret Calvert is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches clients with an emphasis on their existing strengths and practical coping skills, helping them draw on personal resources to address challenges such as anger, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, career questions, and ADHD-related difficulties. Her practice also includes work with relationship and family issues, LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Margaret frames therapy as a collaborative process that begins with a courageous first step toward a more satisfying life. She listens for each person's priorities and tailors supportive strategies to match those goals, blending evidence-based techniques with coaching-minded guidance.

Located in California, she offers a warm, straightforward presence aimed at helping clients gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward tangible change while honoring each person’s story and pace.

Evidence-based strategies and flexible online care

Margaret draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build skills and reduce distress. One common approach she uses involves skill-building and coping strategies that focus on managing symptoms of anxiety, stress, and mood instability through practical exercises and behavioral changes. Another frequently applied method centers on trauma-informed support and processing, helping people address past hurts and reduce their ongoing impact on relationships and daily functioning.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Margaret treats the process as collaborative, exploring a client's goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques to identify which approaches feel most effective and sustainable for that individual.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or geographic limitations. Margaret provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to allow flexible scheduling and ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to stay engaged with therapy, try approaches in real time, and adapt care to the client's life circumstances while working toward measurable progress.
