About Margaret
Margaret Buchholz meets people where they are and helps them work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and changes in life. She is Margaret Buchholz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience. Her style is relaxed and respectful, and she aims to build a working relationship that feels safe and practical.
Margaret uses straightforward, goal-focused techniques. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
How Margaret works
She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change habits, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, usable goals. Her background began in residential treatment after earning a bachelor degree in 2014. She completed a Master of Social Work in 2016 and has worked in outpatient mental health and hospital settings since.
Those roles exposed her to a wide range of problems including ADHD, bipolar concerns, addiction, grief, parenting stress, and anger. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her. Conversations are practical and collaborative - identifying what is getting in the way and trying new strategies to improve daily life.
Margaret describes her approach as person-centered and non-threatening. People who choose her can expect respectful, direct work aimed at short-term goals when helpful, and longer discussions when needed. She encourages people to be proud of taking the first step toward change and supports them through the process.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Margaret commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that cause distress and then practice different ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring their own reasons and confidence for taking steps forward.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, check-ins between sessions, and flexible timing during a busy day, making therapy easier to fit into work and family life.
