Margaretta Reyolds, LMFT

Margaretta Reyolds is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who brings 15 years of clinical experience to work with children, families, couples, and adults. She is known for a warm, friendly, and down-to-earth style, and integrates both evidence-based interventions and faith-informed perspectives when appropriate, including Christian faith-based counseling. Margaretta focuses on a broad range of concerns such as stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family dynamics, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD, with additional attention to jealousy, personality disorders, and postpartum depression.

She frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and combines this with attachment-informed and client-centered approaches as needed. Margaretta aims to provide a supportive, solution-focused therapeutic relationship tailored to each person's needs, helping clients communicate feelings, overcome struggles, and develop practical coping strategies. Her practice emphasizes clear direction, collaborative goal-setting, and clinical techniques drawn from current research to help clients move forward in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Margaretta draws on several well-established therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current bonds and patterns, helping clients improve trust, intimacy, and emotional regulation in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance, giving clients space to explore feelings and discoveries at their own pace while the therapist supports growth and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Margaretta works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and challenges, then adjusts techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s situation and pace.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into busy or changing lives. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel needs, and help maintain continuity when clients are traveling or living in different locations, while allowing licensed professionals to provide ongoing support for relationship issues, mood concerns, trauma recovery, and everyday coping.
