Margot Myers, LCSW, LISW-CP - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Margot

Margot Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly three decades of experience helping people navigate family and parenting challenges, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. She practices in Pennsylvania and brings a direct, supportive approach aimed at practical change. Her work is grounded in partnerships with clients, focused on each person’s goals and daily life needs.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck and what small steps can move things forward.

Background and approach

Sessions often mix talk, skills practice, and gentle exercises tailored to parenting stress, grief, relationship strain, or mood concerns. Margot is LGBTQI+ affirming and aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about identity and family roles. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and licenses as an LCSW and an LISW-CP.

Margot has worked in community settings, schools, outpatient care, and home-based programs. That range informs how she adapts plans to fit busy family schedules and shifting needs. She draws on Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and routines.

For trauma-related work she also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and she brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing where helpful. Margot treats a wide range of concerns including parenting issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and post-traumatic stress.

Her style is collaborative and practical - she helps clients set clear goals and tries to make each session useful for the week ahead.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online family work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building a partnership so parents and family members feel understood and able to set their own goals. It helps when the main need is clearer communication and practical problem solving around family life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about spotting patterns of thinking and changing the small habits that keep problems going. For anxiety, low mood, or parenting stress, CBT breaks challenges into concrete steps and homework that fit into a busy schedule.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used for trauma-related symptoms and involves guided processing to reduce the hold of painful memories. In many cases it can help people feel less triggered by past events and more present for daily family demands.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods as the work progresses. That collaboration helps tailor therapy to what actually fits a family’s routine.

Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging make this flexibility possible. These formats allow parents and caregivers to connect from home, fit sessions around school and work, and use shorter check-ins or longer video visits as needed. The combination of practical therapy methods and flexible online options supports steady progress even with busy family lives.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
