About Margaret
Prof. Margaret Anzalone is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine. She has 31 years of experience working with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, addictions, parenting strain, and anger. She offers help in English and accepts international clients.
She uses a mix of straightforward psychological methods and reflective conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to respond differently. Clients can expect a style that listens to their situation, clarifies problems, and identifies small steps to change behavior and thinking.
Her background combines social work practice with pastoral counseling and spiritual direction. That blend shows up as attention to values, meaning, and emotions alongside behavioral tools. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions depending on the problem at hand.
Common issues she addresses include coping with life changes, family and communication problems, stress of caregiving, trauma and post-traumatic stress, anger, and challenges related to gender and sexual identity. She also supports people dealing with sleep or eating problems, panic, bipolar mood concerns, and career questions.
Her approach is practical and reflective. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings clearer and to produce tangible steps people can try between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding how someone sees their situation and responding with attentive listening and reflection. It helps when someone needs to sort through feelings about relationships, loss, identity, or anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful reactions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, panic, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with sleep, anger, and anxiety.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits their goals and day-to-day life. That means trying approaches, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan over time based on progress and preferences.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during life transitions. It also lets people use strategies learned in sessions in their actual environments, which can help with practicing responses to anger, stress, and relationship moments.
