About Margot
Margot Williams is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting concerns. She focuses on practical support for everyday struggles like relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is warm and collaborative, aiming to make the first steps into therapy less stressful for a worried parent.
Margot emphasizes working together to set clear, realistic goals.
Background and approach
She draws on solution-focused ideas and highlights each client's strengths. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with room for reflection and problem-solving. She brings particular experience with family separation, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and fatherhood questions.
Margot also supports people dealing with control issues, isolation, and the emotional impact of caregiving and life transitions. Margot uses a variety of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered work. These methods help people notice patterns, change unhelpful thoughts, and build everyday skills for coping.
She pays attention to cultural background and asks questions instead of assuming. That helps make therapy relevant to a person’s values and beliefs. Sessions are offered in English and take place with flexible formats to fit busy schedules.

Approaches that guide online work and parenting support
Margot often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. That approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, or parenting moments that trigger avoidance. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that increase distress and to teach practical skills for changing unhelpful behaviors and moods.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. Sessions include discussion, simple skill practice, and plans to try between meetings so changes carry into everyday routines.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for quick reflections, brief updates, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, or caregiving responsibilities.
