About Margaretta

Margaretta Reyolds is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She helps parents and families facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and grief. She also works with issues like depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related concerns such as jealousy and postpartum depression.

Her style is direct and warm. She focuses on practical change and steady support during hard moments.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to help people communicate more clearly, manage intense feelings, and find workable steps forward rather than long lists of theory. Margaretta uses several approaches to fit each family and situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape how people feel and relate. Narrative Therapy helps families reframe difficult stories and see alternatives. With 15 years of experience as an LMFT, she draws on proven methods and a down-to-earth manner.

She offers guidance for concrete problems like parenting conflicts and coping with life changes. The goal is to leave sessions with clearer choices and small steps to try at home. Margaretta accepts international clients and works in English.

She provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Families who want a practical, relationship-focused approach often find her straightforward and supportive.

Approaches that guide online family work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships shape behavior and feelings. It helps parents and partners understand patterns that cause conflict and find new ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and building coping skills. Narrative Therapy helps families tell their stories differently so problems feel less defining and solutions become clearer.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods together. That collaborative process helps pick strategies that fit the family’s pace and needs rather than applying a single template.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule around childcare, work, or different time zones. They also allow families to work from home and try new tools between sessions while keeping the focus on practical steps and stronger relationships.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
