About Margaret
Margaret Lorenz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 26 years of experience. She helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, grief, and questions about life purpose. Sessions address both immediate coping needs and longer term adjustments after major changes.
Margaret takes a practical, person-focused approach. She uses client-centered methods to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and build skills for emotion regulation and problem solving.
In conversation she works at the pace the client needs. People set goals together and decide how quickly to move. She draws on experience with blended family issues, codependency, commitment concerns, workplace stress, and challenges common in young adulthood and midlife.
Her work includes support for intimacy-related issues, eating and anger concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. She also helps people dealing with isolation, self-esteem, self-love, and career questions. Discussions cover practical steps, coping techniques, and clearer next actions.
Margaret accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Scheduling uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; fees vary by location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online process.
How Margaret’s approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities guide each session. It helps when the main need is to sort out what matters and set realistic next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It is practical for anxiety, low mood, career doubts, and unhelpful patterns that keep someone stuck. Sessions using CBT often include exercises between meetings to try new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with strong emotions, relationship conflict, and self-directed anger or impulsive behavior.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and pace. That choice can be adjusted over time as needs change.
