About Margie
Margie Segress is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next after changes in work, relationships, or health. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.
Segress uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people sort through what matters now. She listens for patterns in communication and behavior, and she helps clients name goals that feel achievable. Sessions focus on making sense of feelings, improving communication, and reducing the small daily habits that feed anxiety or low mood.
Her background includes time as a counselor and work as adjunct faculty at the school where she earned her degree. That mix of clinical and teaching experience shows up in how she explains ideas and offers direction. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions without relying on jargon.
People who want help with attachment issues, control concerns, guilt or shame, or midlife questions often find the practical focus useful. She also lists life purpose and women’s issues among her areas of attention. Conversations commonly center on clearer boundaries, healthier patterns, and rebuilding confidence.

Therapeutic methods and working online
Margie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work in sessions. One commonly used approach helps people identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep anxiety and low mood active. This method breaks problems into small, manageable steps and tests changes in everyday life.Another approach she draws on centers on attachment and relationship patterns. It helps people recognize how early interactions shape current expectations and communication, and then practices different ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase emotional clarity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques feel most useful for the person’s situation.

Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, focus on practical homework between meetings, and maintain continuity after life changes.
