About Margaret
Prof. Margaret Anzalone brings a client-centered approach to therapy. She focuses on listening first, then helping people set practical goals.
She uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques when helpful. She has worked in the field for more than three decades and is based in Maine. People come to her for many concerns including stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and substance use.
She also supports those facing life transitions like career shifts, midlife questions, or parenting stress.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to LGBT matters, gender dysphoria, and young adult issues among other focuses. Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable steps rather than vague promises. Margaret mixes client-centered listening with concrete tools to change thoughts, habits, and daily routines.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help with sleep, anxiety, and emotional regulation. Solution-focused ideas are used to set brief, achievable goals when people need faster progress. She holds both an MA LICSW and a Maine LCSW and brings 31 years of professional experience to her practice.
That background has included pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, and therapeutic work across many populations and settings. Those past roles inform a flexible, person-focused style. Margaret works with people by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She also accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site. Costs vary with location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's needs. It emphasizes empathy and working at the client’s pace, which helps when discussing grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers step-by-step strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment, useful for stress, panic, and improving sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centered listening, adding CBT exercises, and using mindfulness practices between sessions. The plan can change as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, moment-to-moment coaching, or continuing progress between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people access therapy from different locations and routines.
