Margot Williams, LISW

Margot Williams is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She meets new clients with compassion and a collaborative approach. She works together with people to set clear, personal goals. Her style emphasizes strengths and practical steps rather than long lists of theory.

Margot uses a mix of methods that include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, attachment-focused work, and client-centered listening. In sessions she helps people notice everyday thoughts and habits, try small behavior changes, and build routines that feel sustainable.

She pays attention to a client’s cultural background and asks questions rather than assuming. That helps shape goals and the types of strategies she offers. She also draws on experience supporting people impacted by adoption, foster care, family separation, and aging-related concerns.

New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. Margot has regular availability on Thursdays. She practices in Ohio and works in English only.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and still take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections influence trust and intimacy in adult life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That selection can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions during a lunch break or a quieter evening, and make regular follow-ups simpler for people juggling caregiving or work. Licensed professionals use these options to help clients keep momentum between sessions and practice new habits in everyday life.
