About Margaret
Prof. Margaret Anzalone is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with 31 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, addictions, trauma, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps rather than jargon.
Her background blends clinical social work with pastoral counseling and spiritual perspectives. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used when patterns of thought and behavior need to be noticed and adjusted. Mindfulness practices are offered to help calm reactivity and increase awareness of bodily sensations tied to anger and anxiety.
She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and track progress from week to week. That approach can be useful when someone needs quick, practical changes at home or work. The overall aim is to help people name what gets in the way and practice different responses over time.
Margaret has worked with a wide range of concerns across many years, including issues tied to identity, caregiving stress, addiction, and life transitions. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. This helps clarify immediate needs and decide which methods to focus on first.
How client-centered, CBT, and mindfulness approaches translate online
Client-centered work online focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify what matters most. The therapist emphasizes understanding each person's goals and preferences, then works from that place to set priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with anger linked to workplace stress, relationship triggers, or recurring negative thoughts. Mindfulness Therapy online teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice physical signs of anger and reduce reactivity in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful, try methods on a short-term basis, and adjust plans based on progress and preference. This is a collaborative process that focuses on concrete steps and measurable changes.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and for using guided exercises or worksheets between sessions to practice new responses to anger.
