About Margaret
Prof. Margaret Anzalone is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - Massachusetts LICSW and Maine LCSW with 31 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, addiction, parenting strains, and life changes. She also lists focus on LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns and addresses issues like self-esteem, trauma, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her work is practical and person-focused. Sessions tend to center on conversation, reflection, and problem-solving. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and clarify what matters to each person. She also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going.
Margaret combines mindfulness practices with solution-focused steps. Mindfulness helps slow down strong feelings and improve attention. Solution-focused techniques aim for small, concrete changes that make daily life easier. Together these approaches are used to address things like panic attacks, sleep disruption, or workplace stress.
She describes a broad background that includes pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, and energy work alongside social work. That background informs how she talks about meaning, grief, and caregiving. It also shows up when clients want support with spiritual concerns or community roles.
People who choose her can expect a mix of reflection and practical skills. The emphasis is on clearer communication, coping tools, and steps toward manageable change. To start, the site asks users to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear listening and reflective conversation. Online sessions using this approach aim to help a person name what matters and set priorities for change. It is useful for grief, relationship issues, and questions about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes. In remote sessions CBT can include structured problem maps, brief behavioral experiments, and homework that fits into daily routines. This method is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing client-centered conversation with CBT tasks and mindfulness practices over several sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper work; the therapist can discuss timing and pacing that match a client's schedule and circumstances.
