About Margaret

Margaret Lorenz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 26 years of experience supporting parents, adolescents, and families.

Background and approach

She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, family conflict, major life changes, relationship struggles, and grief, bringing steady clinical experience to each case. She focuses on helping individuals uncover practical tools and strategies that support a more fully actualized life.

In sessions she acts as a guide while the person she is working with remains in control, and treatment moves at whatever pace feels right for that individual. Her work draws on cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques alongside psychodynamic and strengths-based perspectives to shape conversations and treatment plans tailored to each person’s needs.

Asking for help is framed as a courageous and self-aware decision, and she encourages people to view that first step as the start of a new direction toward healing, greater well-being, and meaningful change. She looks forward to meeting new clients and hearing each person’s story.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online support

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s own experience at the center of the work, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and the client’s goals so they can explore what matters most and build self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process - she will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure the plan feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging lets people access consistent support with greater flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver effective, ongoing therapy tailored to each individual’s situation.
