Margaret Lorenz, LCSW

Margaret Lorenz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, NY LCSW, with 26 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and other life transitions. Her focus includes grief, self-esteem, ADHD, workplace strain, and issues that come up in blended families and young adulthood.

She uses straightforward, practical sessions to help people develop skills they can use day to day. Conversations move at the client's pace, whether that means focused short-term work or longer exploration. She draws on client-centered principles so the client's priorities guide each session.

Margaret also uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and lift mood. She incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when needed. These approaches are used alongside discussion about family patterns, career stress, and life purpose.

In sessions she helps people build coping strategies for parenting stress, workplace issues, and relationship conflicts. She also addresses codependency, commitment concerns, loneliness, and intimacy-related challenges. Practical tools, skill practice, and clear goals are common elements of her work.

Clients can expect a direct, steady style that aims to make therapy useful in ordinary life. Margaret asks questions, suggests experiments, and reviews progress so work in sessions connects to daily routines. She accepts international clients and works in English.
