Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Margaret Sicari
Margaret integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address a broad range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the person’s priorities guide the work; it is helpful for building self-esteem, processing relationship issues and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, panic and mood-related problems.
She also uses mindfulness therapy techniques to help people develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies for stress and emotional regulation. These approaches are presented in clear, practical terms so clients can apply new tools between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Margaret works together with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how clients connect - whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different comfort levels, and support ongoing care across distances while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to client-centered treatment.
