About Margaret
Margaret Lorenz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 26 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship tensions, parenting strains, grief, and other life changes. She also supports people navigating career pressures, identity questions, and struggles with self-esteem and isolation.
Margaret uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on building skills and finding concrete tools that reduce reactivity and make daily life easier. She combines goal-focused strategies with attention to how emotions and relationships affect choices.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That means she listens first, then helps people test new behaviors, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and practice emotion regulation skills. People who want clear tactics for anger, routine stress, or persistent worry often find this useful.
Margaret treats issues such as blended family challenges, codependency, commitment concerns, workplace problems, and midlife questions. She also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and life purpose work. Her background includes long experience with parenting and young adult issues, which informs how she frames concrete steps forward.
Sessions are conducted in English. She accepts international clients. Before scheduling, confirm current session formats and any logistical details through the booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Margaret uses Client-Centered Therapy to start sessions by listening and understanding what matters most to the client. This makes it easier to set clear goals and prioritize what to work on first.She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioral changes. CBT helps with anger that comes from stressful thinking at work or at home by turning abstract worries into concrete behavior experiments.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills give practical steps for cooling down in the moment and communicating without escalating conflict.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Margaret will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, pace, and preferences. That decision evolves as progress is made and needs change.
