About Margaret
Across her career she has supported people facing severe mental illness as well as those coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, body image concerns, and grief or loss. Her training in EMDR therapy adds a specialized toolset for addressing traumatic memories and their emotional impact. Margaret integrates that training with practical, skills-based approaches to help clients build coping strategies, manage symptoms, and work toward meaningful change.
She approaches each person’s situation with attentiveness to their history and goals, tailoring interventions to fit individual needs while drawing on evidence-informed techniques. Her background spans crisis and long-term care settings, giving her experience with both immediate stabilization and sustained therapeutic work.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Margaret Elkins draws on several evidence-informed methods to guide online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it can help clients struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach for processing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them; it can be helpful for those working through trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Margaret collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods accordingly so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy schedules, maintain momentum between sessions, and access licensed professionals from a distance while working toward meaningful change.
