About Margaret

Margaret Doman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, parenting and relationship problems, addictions, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Margaret helps clients sort priorities, reduce overwhelm, and build practical plans for coping.

Margaret uses a mix of approaches that fit the person's situation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thought and behavior patterns. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ideas for managing distress and improving emotion regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and client-centered methods guide discussions about relationships and attachment.

Her background includes leadership roles in outpatient substance abuse treatment and programs for adolescents and children who faced displacement, trauma, neglect, or behavioral challenges. That work involved clinical supervision, program direction, and case management alongside direct counseling. Those roles shaped her focus on practical supports for families and caregivers.

Sessions are focused on clear goals and step-by-step strategies. Margaret emphasizes coping skills, communication techniques, and planning that fit everyday life demands. She also addresses longer-term patterns like codependency, attachment problems, and blended family dynamics.

Margaret has worked across different cultures and community settings, which informs how she approaches diversity and life context. People who want straightforward, practical guidance about relationships, mood, or stress may find her approach useful.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing values-based actions. Online sessions can help people practice these skills between meetings and track small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That work adapts well to remote sessions through structured skill-building and homework.

Margaret treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what helps most, keeping the client involved in decisions about focus and pace.

The profile does not specify which remote session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work breaks, require less travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Many therapeutic exercises and skills practice translate to distance sessions, and goal-setting and tracking can be integrated into weekly routines.
