About Margaret

Margaret Wright is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, self esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With six years of professional experience, Margaret centers the therapeutic process on each person's existing strengths and lived knowledge, inviting clients to build on what already works while developing new skills to face current challenges. Margaret practices from a collaborative, respectful stance that emphasizes empowerment and growth.

Sessions aim to help clients increase resilience, clarify values, and practice practical tools for emotion regulation and problem solving. Techniques draw from evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and a client-centered orientation to create an individualized path forward.

Clients who choose Margaret can expect a supportive environment that acknowledges courage and gradual progress. She offers guidance for building confidence, addressing trauma responses, improving communication patterns, and managing daily stressors while honoring each person’s unique story and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Margaret often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working with people online. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. ACT encourages clients to clarify their values and take committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings, supporting work on life changes, motivation, and self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Margaret approaches this collaboratively. She will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs with each person to tailor methods and exercises that feel like a good fit, adapting strategies over time based on what is most helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support, practice skills between meetings, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals who guide the process.
