About Margaret

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 26 years of experience. Margaret Lorenz focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, along with depression, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and related life changes. She also works with issues around intimacy, eating, anger, career and workplace struggles, and supports people from LGBT backgrounds. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Margaret uses practical conversations to help people spot patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are introduced when emotional regulation and coping are central concerns.

In sessions she focuses on building specific tools for day-to-day life. This can include coping strategies for stress, communication skills for relationship strain, and planning steps for career or parenting challenges. She also addresses blended family issues, codependency, commitment questions, isolation and the transitions that come with midlife and young adulthood.

Margaret describes the work as collaborative: she listens, offers structure, and helps people decide how fast to move. Her practice blends skills training with talk therapy so people can test changes between sessions. Payment varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the See online therapy options button. Margaret welcomes people who want clear, practical steps to manage life stressors and emotional challenges.

How her approaches work in remote sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and pace. In practice this means starting where the person wants to start, listening for what matters, and shaping sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That means you and the therapist decide together which methods to emphasize and how to structure sessions.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule sessions between commitments, or avoid commuting. The focus remains on practical skills, reflections, and homework that can be applied between sessions, regardless of the delivery format.
