About Margaret
Margaret Sicari is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over three decades of experience. She listens closely and helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Peggy uses straightforward conversation to help people feel understood and begin making changes.
She blends practical strategies with a warm, person-centered style. Sessions start by identifying immediate concerns and realistic goals. From there she teaches tools for coping, improving communication, and managing strong emotions like anger or panic.
Background and approach
Margaret has worked in independent practice, schools, agencies, and clinical programs. That variety shaped her approach to be flexible and down-to-earth. She draws on many years of experience helping people recover from trauma, improve self-esteem, and address substance use problems.
Her work often focuses on recovery and repairing relationships after emotional or substance-related harm. She helps people sort through family of origin issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and the complicated feelings that come with midlife and aging concerns. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused.
Margaret helps clients build new coping skills, practice different ways of relating, and find small changes that lead to better daily functioning. She encourages practical steps you can use between sessions. Margaret holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in New York and offers services in English.
She accepts international clients and adapts her methods to fit each person's situation and pace.

Online approaches that focus on practical change
Margaret uses client-centered work to start each online session by hearing what matters most to the person. This approach makes room for the client's priorities and helps set goals that feel relevant and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with concrete skills for managing anxiety, anger, and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Margaret collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is working and what is not, so therapy stays practical and personalized.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people practice new communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, quick coping tips, or between-session support. These options make it easier to get consistent care while juggling work, family, or recovery commitments.
