About Margot

Margot Williams is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 25 years of experience. She helps people coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and the stresses of parenting or caregiving. She also supports those facing adoption and foster care matters and concerns around identity and relationships.

Margot aims to make the first contact feel easier. She uses a collaborative, compassionate style and works with each person to set clear, practical goals. Sessions focus on building strengths and finding steps that can be used between meetings.

Her approach draws on ways of thinking and practicing that include acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered listening. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps over time.

Margot pays attention to cultural background and values. She asks questions, listens without making assumptions, and adapts suggestions to fit a person’s life and beliefs. This helps keep the work relevant and respectful.

People who work with her can expect concrete strategies, gentle accountability, and an emphasis on strengths. She offers availability on Thursdays and works from Ohio as a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW).

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns today and supports work on connection and trust in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and jointly decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can shift over time based on what is working.

Session options and practical details should be confirmed before booking. If you prefer online work, check the available formats when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Licensed professionals can use a mix of tools and techniques online to practice skills, track progress, and assign brief exercises between meetings.
