About Margie
Margie Segress is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She has seven years of professional experience in counseling and has taught as adjunct faculty at the school where she earned her degree. That mix of clinical work and teaching shaped a practical style focused on clear goals and steady progress.
Background and approach
In sessions she encourages open, judgment-free conversation. Clients can expect direct listening, gentle questioning, and practical ideas they can try between meetings. The work often focuses on building self-compassion, improving communication, and reducing persistent worry.
Margie pays attention to patterns that affect mood and relationships, such as attachment concerns, control issues, guilt and shame, and problems with communication. She also supports people navigating life purpose, midlife transitions, and women’s issues. Her practice includes attention to trauma and post-traumatic stress with an aim to help people feel safer in their day-to-day lives.
Sessions are offered in English and Margie accepts international clients, providing multiple online formats to fit different needs.
Therapeutic methods and online care explained
Margie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change and emotional recovery. One common approach she uses is work that helps people understand and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and difficulty making decisions. Another common strand of her practice focuses on processing trauma and its effects so daily life feels less reactive and overwhelming; this helps people facing post-traumatic stress and lingering effects of abuse.Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. She will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches that fit your situation. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and messaging supports shorter updates between meetings. These options help fit sessions into busy days and different life rhythms.
