About Margaret
Margaret Lorenz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She brings 26 years of experience to sessions and aims to create a calm space for people who are stressed, anxious, or facing big life changes. Her style centers on listening first and helping each person find practical steps forward.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's experience and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, is offered to build skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping.
Margaret describes her role as a guide who helps people identify tools that fit their life. Treatment plans are built around what the person wants, and the pace is adjusted to match readiness. This practical focus aims to make difficult moments easier to handle rather than add new rules.
Her experience includes helping people with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strains, workplace stress, and challenges related to identity and intimacy. She also offers support for issues like codependency, commitment questions, and feeling isolated.
Asking for help is acknowledged as a brave first step. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session allow Margaret and the person to set goals and agree on next steps.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, which works well in remote conversations where time is spent understanding goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts and try small behavioral changes, a process that can be practiced between sessions and tracked remotely. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that are easy to review and rehearse during online meetings.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then try approaches that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the plan.

In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days. It can also let people review tools, practice skills between meetings, and keep momentum when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals tailor the flow and homework so sessions fit a person's routine and goals.
