About Margot

Margot Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in Pennsylvania. She has 29 years of experience and a long history of work in community settings. Margot lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting, blended family issues, grief, depression, ADHD, and related areas among her focuses.

She uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. Margot draws on client-centered therapy to center what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to address patterns of thinking and behavior. EMDR and mindfulness approaches appear in her toolbox for trauma and stress-related work.

Most of her career was in home-based, outpatient, school, and university settings. That background informs a practical approach to everyday problems. She has experience with trauma, mood disorders, life changes, and caregiver and first responder stresses.

Margot affirms LGBTQI+ identities and notes work with people across ages, including children, teenagers, adults, and families in past roles. She emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and she helps work toward them. She frames therapy as a process that can feel difficult at times but aims to help people make meaningful changes.

Her training history includes a master’s degree in social work from Virginia Commonwealth University and additional education in trauma-informed care, trauma-focused CBT, EMDR, and animal-assisted therapy and education. Those elements shape how she blends techniques to address specific concerns and real-life situations.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is important, and letting the client guide the pace and focus of sessions. This approach can help with relationship and family concerns and with deciding what changes to try first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and complex trauma reactions.

Margot views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the person about goals, past experiences, and preferences to decide whether client-centered work, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or a mix makes the most sense. The plan can change as progress is made and needs evolve.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals commonly use video or phone options depending on preference and practical needs, and Margot will discuss what works best for the client when arranging the first appointment.
