She approaches each person as unique, believing that healing and growth are possible whether someone is responding to a difficult event or is pursuing proactive personal development.

She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families, and brings extensive experience addressing trauma, mood disorders, and significant life transitions. An LGBTQI+ affirming therapist, she emphasizes respect for each person’s identity and supports clients in seeking lives that reflect their authentic selves.

She customizes therapeutic methods to fit the individual, and welcomes invitations to join people on their journey toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Margot Myers draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths, creating space for self-exploration and improved self-esteem while improving relationships and coping with life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learn practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that is used to reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories and support recovery from traumatic experiences.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Margot works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their situation, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it simpler to schedule consistent sessions, continue work through life changes, and connect with licensed professionals from home or work, supporting ongoing progress even when in-person meetings are not possible.
