Margaret Doman, LCSW

Margaret Doman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, and relationship strain. She brings two decades of clinical experience and a practical focus on everyday changes that matter. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people regain control and move forward.

Margaret draws from a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also leans on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and take meaningful steps.

Her background includes leadership roles in substance use treatment and adolescent services. That work involved running outpatient programs, supervising children’s mental health services, and managing respite and treatment programs for teens. Those roles shaped her focus on practical tools and clear plans for change.

She works with people across a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, parenting challenges, chronic health issues, codependency, and major life transitions. Margaret pays attention to cultural and community context when planning care.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and strength-based. Margaret helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track progress. The goal is steady, usable change that fits everyday life.

How Margaret’s approaches translate to online work

Many of the methods Margaret uses can be adapted to remote sessions in practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of thinking and acting. This works well online because skills are easy to teach, try between sessions, and review together. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, which can be discussed and planned during remote appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Margaret collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy feels useful and relevant.

Session logistics vary by practitioner and platform, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins when life gets hectic. These practical benefits help people keep momentum and apply new skills between appointments.
