About Margo
Margo Arrowsmith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 40 years of practice. She helps people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. Her work also covers adoption and foster care issues, body image, eating and food-related problems, and workplace stress.
She adapts methods to the person and the situation rather than using a single fixed approach. That means practical problem-solving for family boundary issues and step-by-step support for eating concerns. She has written a book, Keep Your Parents Home, that mixes professional advice and personal experience about caring for aging parents while maintaining work and life responsibilities.
Margo has long experience helping adult children and parents rebuild more respectful relationships. She focuses on clear boundaries and realistic strategies that reduce conflict and ease daily strain. She also supports people working through reunions and questions around adoption and birth family contact.
She has developed a system for addressing bulimia and overeating and applies hands-on techniques with people who want to change eating patterns. Margo also works with people resolving the effects of childhood abuse and believes that such work can be effective at any age; she cites long-term clients who have made meaningful changes.
In addition to clinical work, she brings experience as a writer and an interfaith minister who has trained in spiritual direction and dream work. That background can be useful when clients want to connect personal meaning, creativity, or spiritual reflection to their healing process.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic methods and how they work online
She draws on established, evidence-based techniques and adapts them to the problem at hand. For work on eating disorders such as bulimia and overeating she uses structured, behavior-focused steps to change habits, manage triggers, and build alternative coping skills. For trauma and childhood abuse she uses paced, trauma-informed approaches that prioritize stabilization, processing at a tolerable pace, and practical strategies to reduce current symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they adjust methods as therapy progresses to keep work focused and useful.

Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule around work and caregiving, and allowing quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins, while others suit longer processing sessions; discuss what works practically for timing, camera use, and session length when arranging appointments.
