About Margot

Margot Williams is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She focuses on practical steps and steady support so people feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she aims to make first visits easier for those who are nervous about therapy.

Margot takes a strengths-based approach. She works with clients to set clear, realistic goals and uses short-term strategies that can be put into practice between sessions.

Background and approach

That includes tools drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help with everyday challenges like low energy, worry, and trouble concentrating. Attachment-based ideas shape how she understands relationships and patterns that began in family life. Those concepts are used to improve communication, set healthier boundaries, and reduce recurring conflict.

Client-centered principles guide sessions so conversations stay focused on each person's values and priorities. She has long experience assisting people who’ve faced trauma, family separation such as adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress. Margot also supports people dealing with shame, loneliness, work stress, and identity concerns within LGBT experiences.

Margot pays attention to culture and background by asking questions rather than assuming. She listens closely and adjusts recommendations to match a person’s values and daily life. Her practice in Ohio includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and to take steps that match their values; this can help with anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for stress and concentration challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routines, and then suggest techniques to try together. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial expressions and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, skill practice, or quick sessions that fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent progress with a licensed professional.
