About Margaret
Margaret Auguste is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in New Jersey with two decades of clinical experience. She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy difficulties, addiction concerns, and many other life challenges.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with parenting and family dynamics, grief and loss, mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation, and issues around attention and executive functioning like ADHD. Her approach is collaborative and adaptable, drawing on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-focused perspectives, client-centered principles, and dialectical behavior skills.
Sessions emphasize respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental tone, with treatment plans shaped to fit each person’s needs rather than relying on labels. Margaret aims to help clients build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and navigate transitions with more clarity and resilience.
She holds LMFT licensure in California and New Jersey and works in English. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability and the site’s matching process.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Margaret integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment strategies into online work to help clients recognize unhelpful thoughts, build new coping habits, and clarify personal values that guide change. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress and mood difficulties and teaching skills to adjust them, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and anger-related concerns. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages noticing difficult inner experiences while committing to value-driven actions, supporting people who face grief, life transitions, or chronic emotional pain.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore relational patterns and emotional bonds that shape current difficulties, which can aid those struggling with intimacy issues, communication problems, or attachment wounds. Selecting the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and the specifics of what they are facing rather than applying a single technique by default.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, allow for convenient access from home, and let clients move at a pace that suits them while working toward practical, skills-based progress.
