About Margot
Margot Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and an Independent Licensed Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 29 years of experience based in Pennsylvania. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. She also supports those coping with career shifts, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood concerns.
Myers uses straightforward, collaborative sessions. She treats clients as partners in planning goals and deciding methods. Sessions often include talking through current problems, building practical strategies, and addressing painful experiences from the past. She identifies as LGBTQI+ affirming.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and long experience in community settings. Much of her work has been in home-based services, outpatient clinics, schools, and university programs. That experience informs how she approaches family issues and caregiving stress.
She draws on several clinical approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness methods, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are used to address trauma, mood disorders, and the everyday problems that make daily life harder.
In sessions she focuses on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steps to manage overwhelming feelings. She will work with clients to set goals and make changes they can sustain. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful for relationship strain, parenting worries, and decisions about life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and step-by-step changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful reactions. CBT is often used for stress, depression, and social anxiety.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, works with disturbing memories and the emotions tied to them. In session the therapist helps process past events to lessen their ongoing impact. EMDR is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, history, and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving and work, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches to suit the practical demands of daily life and the client's stated goals.
