About Margot
Margot Williams is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 25 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and anger. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career questions, and issues tied to adoption, foster care, or family separation. Margot aims to make first sessions straightforward and calm.
She uses a compassionate, collaborative style and asks questions to understand each person’s background and values.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that match what the individual wants to change. Her approach draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Attachment-focused ideas guide conversations about closeness, trust, and family of origin issues.
She also uses client-centered practices to keep the person’s priorities central. Margot pays attention to culture and life context. She avoids assumptions and listens for what matters most to each person.
Strengths are identified and used as building blocks for problem solving and healing. People can expect structured goal-setting plus space to talk through feelings and past events. Margot blends practical tools with supportive conversation so clients leave with steps they can try between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger by focusing on small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; this approach is practical for stress, mood concerns, and repetitive negative thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose or blend approaches that match goals, life demands, and personal preferences. That shared decision making helps set clear goals and a plan for sessions and between-session practice.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth is available. Phone sessions can be a good option when a shorter check-in is needed or video isn’t possible. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, jotting down steps, or managing quick supports between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
