About Margaret

Margaret Auguste is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She practices from New Jersey and uses a practical, respectful approach that focuses on what a person needs now. Her tone is warm and direct, with an emphasis on clear steps and real-life skills.

Clients meet a clinician who listens without labels and adapts sessions to each situation.

Background and approach

She draws on methods like cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based work to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions are interactive and focused on small, achievable shifts that build over time. Her background includes long experience with trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, addiction, and issues around identity and intimacy.

That history means she is familiar with the ups and downs people face when they want change. She often helps people rebuild routines, set boundaries, and manage strong emotions like anger or grief. Margaret favors collaborative goal-setting.

She and the person she sees map out small steps and track progress together. She uses practical tools from dialectical behavior work and attachment-focused ideas to strengthen coping skills and improve communication. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns and tailors each plan to the individual’s needs and life demands.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking action that matches what matters. It can help people reduce struggle with strong emotions and live toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tests new behaviors to change feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching concrete coping skills and stepwise practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Margaret will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily life. Together they will try approaches, check what helps, and adjust the plan so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions that include skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat offer shorter check-ins or on-the-go support. These options help people fit sessions into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on skill building and progress.
