About Margaret
Margaret Kei is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, grief, or big life changes. She uses straightforward language and a warm, supportive manner so parents and adults can focus on practical steps.
Her work often addresses depression, trauma, and challenges tied to attention differences. She also helps people manage relationship strain and family problems, and supports those coping with shame, guilt, or isolation.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns and attachment issues. In sessions she listens first and helps clients set small goals. Margaret draws on client-centered care to follow each person’s priorities.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress. For people dealing with intense emotions, she incorporates trauma-focused methods to address past harms safely. Solution-focused techniques help when clients want clear, short-term steps to move forward.
Together these approaches help people reduce angry outbursts, manage panic symptoms, and build better coping skills. Margaret practices in Virginia as a VA LCSW and offers sessions in English. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

Approaches for strong emotions delivered online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person first. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead while offering empathy and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard and builds trust before working on change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions. It breaks down unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, anger, and mood difficulties. Clients practice new skills between sessions to see steady improvement.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean blending client-centered listening with CBT skills and brief solution-focused steps to meet practical goals.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options give flexibility so people can schedule therapy around family, school, or work commitments.
