About Marguerite

Dr. Marguerite Morgan is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 33 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, family matters, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Dr. Morgan uses an integrative counseling approach that emphasizes cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. She weaves in attachment-based ideas and client-centered work to address how relationships and early attachments affect current behavior. Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to manage stress and strong emotions.

Her practice highlights cultural sensitivity and personal faith as parts of the conversation when clients wish to include them. She references principles of recovery and positive psychotherapy alongside practical strategies for stress management. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, developing coping skills, and setting realistic, actionable goals.

Dr. Morgan has long experience supporting women through major life changes including widowhood, maternal mental health concerns, trauma, and grief. She also works with people facing addictive behaviors, family-of-origin problems, fertility and caregiver stress. Practical problem solving and skills practice are frequent elements of her work.

Outside of clinical work she is a mother, grandmother, and church leader who enjoys sewing and cooking. Her academic background includes a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University and a Doctorate of Philosophy from Columbus University.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Dr. Morgan often works from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing alongside attachment-informed and client-centered ideas. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns that increase distress and on practicing new behaviors to reduce anger, anxiety, or depressive symptoms. Motivational interviewing helps clarify values and build motivation for change, which can aid when someone is stuck or struggling with addictive behavior.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Sessions typically combine talking, practical skill-building, and short exercises to practice between meetings.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since none are specified in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness or behavioral exercises in the settings where they actually live and work, which helps translate skills into day-to-day life.
