Margot Myers, LCSW, LISW-CP

Margot Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of practice who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and midlife changes. She welcomes those wrestling with career shifts, relationship and parenting strains, caregiving stress, and questions about life purpose. She is LGBTQI+ affirming and focuses on helping people find more authentic ways of living.

Margot earned a master’s degree in social work from Virginia Commonwealth University and later relocated to Pennsylvania. Much of her work has been in community settings such as home-based care, outpatient clinics, schools, and universities. She has long experience supporting people through trauma and mood disorders and in adapting to major life changes.

Her practice centers on partnership and practical work. She aims to make therapy collaborative so clients set the goals and she helps them reach those goals. Sessions often include learning concrete skills, practicing new ways to cope, and talking through difficult memories and decisions.

Margot uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person. These can include client-centered conversations, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing, and EMDR for trauma work. She adapts methods to the needs and pace of each person she sees.

People who come to her for help can expect straightforward guidance, respect for their experiences, and support toward clearer choices. Her background in community work shapes a practical, down-to-earth style aimed at steady progress.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the person. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, helps them name priorities, and supports decisions the client wants to try. It is helpful for life changes, relationship concerns, and building self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often include small experiments, practice between meetings, and clear steps to manage anxiety, depression, or overwhelm.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to address traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing. When appropriate, it can reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and comfort. That choice can change as progress happens, and sessions are adjusted to fit the client’s pace.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session options are offered before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people continue steady work when schedules or location make in-person visits difficult.
