How Margot works
Sessions are paced to match what the person feels able to handle. Her practice draws on methods that address thoughts, behavior, and past patterns. Conversations often include skill-building for managing panic, improving communication, and coping with caregiver strain.
When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she pays attention to safety and gradual progress. Margot also supports concerns related to pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum depression, and women's issues. Immigration and multicultural stressors are part of her experience.
She listens for cultural context and adapts strategies to fit each person's background and values. With 27 years in the field, Margot aims to help people get unstuck and move toward small, meaningful change. She invites people to take the first step and work at a pace that feels doable.
Sessions are offered in both English and Spanish to meet language needs.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Margot often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and manage intense feelings. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of reacting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase emotional steadiness.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about what to do next. Margot works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds in sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer talk sessions and watching nonverbal cues, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins, homework, or short emotional support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around daily life and to keep momentum between meetings.
