Margot Myers, LCSW, LISW-CP

Margot Myers, LCSW, LISW-CP, helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, parenting challenges, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and identity concerns including LGBT matters. Her approach is collaborative and respectful, with a focus on what each person wants to change and how to get there.

Myers trained in social work at Virginia Commonwealth University and has practiced since 1996, building 29 years of experience in community, school, outpatient, and home-based settings. She brings experience with trauma, mood disorders, and transitions, and emphasizes partnership in the room. Clients set goals and she helps them work toward those goals in practical ways.

She uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit the person and situation. That can include client-centered talking, skills from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions focus on real problems and concrete steps people can try between meetings.

Myers describes therapy as a joined effort. She aims to create a supportive space where people feel encouraged to try new ways of coping. Healing can be uncomfortable at times, and she prepares people for gradual progress rather than instant fixes.

Margot practices in Pennsylvania and brings a long history of community-based work to her practice. She welcomes conversations about goals, practical needs, and how therapy might fit into a person’s life.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and letting the person set the pace. Online sessions using this approach let people talk through what matters most and shape goals with the therapist’s support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then tests small changes to see what helps. In remote sessions this looks like practicing skills, reviewing short homework, and tracking what works between meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing. When EMDR is part of the plan, the therapist explains the steps and adapts the work to the session context and the person’s readiness.

Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk about options, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on how it feels and what goals change. That collaborative decision-making helps match technique to the person’s needs and preferences.

Session formats were not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy fits into busy days, reduces travel, and lets them attend from a quieter place. Remote sessions can make shorter check-ins, skill practice, or regular weekly work easier to fit into life while still using the same therapeutic methods a licensed professional would use in person.
