About Margaret
Margaret Kaelin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky and Texas with three years of experience listed on this profile. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and parenting concerns. Margaret meets people in a straightforward, goal-focused way to address practical problems in daily life.
She uses a mix of strategies to help people reduce distress and improve coping. Those include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, and client-centered work. Sessions tend to focus on simple skills, clearer thinking, and workable steps to change patterns that cause pain.
Margaret also pays attention to issues tied to life stage and roles. She lists concerns like caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, adoption and foster care matters, financial stress, midlife questions, and first responder issues. She helps people talk through shame, isolation, anger, and feelings of emptiness while building more effective communication habits.
Her style is practical and goal oriented. Conversations are meant to produce tools you can use between sessions. She has used a range of practices in other settings, including equine-assisted work, but the current profile documents standard talk-based therapies and evidence-informed approaches.

BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that align with their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for depression, worry, sleep and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help with intense anger, mood swings, and self-management.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the clinician decide together which strategies to emphasize as sessions progress.
Confirm the actual session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow workday check-ins, or make evening appointments simpler to keep. Some methods translate well to video or phone because they rely on teaching skills, practicing new responses, and reviewing short exercises between visits. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so you can pick the option that best fits your routine.
