About Margaret

Margaret Buchholz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Minnesota who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, and attention challenges such as ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings eight years of experience in mental health work, beginning in residential treatment and continuing through hospital and outpatient settings after earning her MSW in 2016. Her background includes hands-on experience with grief, addiction, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, and life transitions.

Her approach is grounded in a person-centered, relaxed style that emphasizes respect and collaboration. She primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies for change, while also drawing on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques when appropriate.

Sessions are shaped by each client’s priorities, with an aim toward clear goals and manageable steps. Margaret values building a therapeutic relationship that feels non-threatening and supportive.

She encourages people to acknowledge the courage it takes to seek help and offers practical, goal-oriented support to help them move toward the changes they want to make.

Practical Approaches for Online Change

Margaret often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, turning abstract patterns into concrete skills for everyday life. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change, using guided conversation to strengthen motivation and identify personally meaningful goals.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist treats it as a collaborative process. She will explore a client's needs, preferences, and goals together to determine which combination of strategies feels most useful, adjusting methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, attend sessions from different locations within the therapist's permitted region, and select the communication style that supports their comfort and engagement.
