Therapist at Key Counseling

About Margaret

I’m honored to be a part of the PepperChat team and deeply admire their commitment to empowering therapists and enhancing their work. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Atlanta, GA, specializing in working with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, career-related stress, and emotional regulation. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Georgia and am passionate about helping clients explore patterns from their past, build self-awareness, and develop healthier coping strategies. Drawing from approaches such as person-centered therapy, parts work, and trauma-informed care, I strive to create a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel validated, and encouraged.

From Margaret’s Practice

Did you grow up hearing that only certain types of people seek therapy? Are you a high-achieving professional striving for success in your career, but are finding it increasingly challenging to maintain balance and well-being in your personal life? Are you feeling stuck in a job, relationship, or other personal situation? Wherever you are, whatever you are feeling – you arrived on this page for a reason, and I am here to listen, validate, and empower you to take meaningful steps towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.

As a therapist, I aim to create a safe, inclusive, supportive, affirming, and non-judgmental space where all identities and experiences are honored and celebrated. My approach to therapy is collaborative, viewing my client as an expert in their own life and as a partner in the therapeutic process. I view the advancement of the rights of all individuals as personal responsibility in my work.

My career path has given me a unique appreciation for people’s diverse perspectives and strengths, which allows me to connect and collaborate to help each individual find peace amidst their most relevant personal challenges and fears.

Your journey is unique, and I am committed to tailoring our sessions to meet your specific needs and aspirations. In my integrated therapeutic approach, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Strength-Based Therapy, Relational Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based practices. My experience and training have led me to specialize in working with clients navigating anxiety, attachment issues, burnout, career and stress management, low self-esteem, codependency, perfectionism, grief, postpartum support, aging concerns, relationship and family issues, and life transitions.
