About Margaret
Margaret Buchholz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with eight years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and career or life changes. Sessions are presented in straightforward terms and focus on practical steps people can use right away.
She began clinical work in residential treatment after earning her bachelor’s degree in 2014 and completed a Master of Social Work in 2016. Early roles included hospital work and ongoing outpatient practice in southwest Minnesota. That background shapes a pragmatic approach to everyday problems.
Her style emphasizes a calm, person-centered stance. She listens for what is most pressing and works with clients on concrete goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a main tool she uses to identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns that cause trouble.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy also appear in her work when people need help clarifying goals or making changes. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps and measurable progress rather than long theoretical discussions.
People can expect straightforward conversation about what is most useful next. She aims to help clients set realistic short-term goals and practice simple strategies between sessions. The approach is practical and geared toward daily life concerns.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Margaret uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, homework practice, and short-term skills people can use between appointments.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are unsure about change. That approach uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and clarify personal goals. Solution-Focused Therapy appears when the priority is setting small, concrete steps and tracking progress toward those steps.
Choosing which method to use is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they decide which approaches and tasks to try first and adjust as needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how she is offering appointments. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into work, childcare, or other daily routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick progress update is useful, or allow sessions without being on camera if that is preferable. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use these options to help make therapy more compatible with everyday life.
