About Margaret
Prof. Margaret Anzalone brings a client-centered approach to therapy. She uses simple, direct care to help people affected by anxiety, panic, stress, and life changes. She is a LICSW and an LCSW with three decades of experience and offers a steady, respectful presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed.
She blends practical counseling with focused tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness work. Sessions often include talking through immediate worries, noticing how thoughts influence feelings, and trying small experiments to reduce panic and anxiety symptoms. The goal is to help people get relief they can use day to day.
Margaret draws on many ways of working to fit each person’s needs. She pays attention to relationships, grief, addiction concerns, identity questions, and parenting strains. She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to attention or mood.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then suggests short practical steps and tools. Many people find this approach helps them regain confidence and clearer thinking when panic or intense anxiety emerges.
Clients can expect straightforward sessions focused on problem solving and skills practice. Margaret has worked in clinical and spiritual contexts, and she uses that broad experience to help people move toward steadier daily routines and improved coping.
She practices in Maine and works in English. International clients are accepted; confirm current session options before booking.
How specific approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on where the person is right now. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s pace to figure out what matters most. This helps people feel understood and sets the agenda for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. In short, it helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, try different reactions, and test what works to reduce panic and anxiety symptoms. CBT is practical for things like panic attacks and social anxiety.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques help slow the body’s surge when panic starts and build steadier daily habits for sleep and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, tastes, and day-to-day demands. Sessions are adjusted as progress is made and priorities shift.
Confirm current online session options before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make scheduling easier, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins that fit into a busy day. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills in real-life moments and keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
