About Margaret

Margaret "Maggie" Nash brings a practical, humor-infused approach to therapy rooted in 24 years of independent practice experience.

Background and approach

She combines client-centered care with evidence-informed tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, manage strong emotions, and build healthier responses to life’s challenges.

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida, she draws on a broad toolkit that also includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when these fit a client’s needs. Her work often addresses problems in relationships and difficulties people have with themselves, including harsh self-judgment, grief, trauma, mood differences, addictions, and stress-related concerns.

She weaves compassion and persistence into treatment and intentionally uses humor as a therapeutic element to support grieving, recovery, and problem solving. Margaret also writes and occasionally does television interviews, bringing a public voice to mental health topics while maintaining a warm, straightforward clinical style.

Clients seeking help with anxiety, depression, intimacy or family tensions, ADHD, career transitions, or coping after traumatic events will find a practitioner who emphasizes practical skills, collaborative planning, and respectful challenge to move toward better functioning and greater self-acceptance.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical care

Margaret uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems where skill-building and structured practice help. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or self-harming behaviors are a concern. Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation, emphasizing empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients feel heard while working toward their goals.

Determining which approach or combination will be most helpful is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods over time so the work fits the client's needs, preferences, and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexible scheduling and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to access consistent care from a licensed professional in Florida or from other locations, while maintaining a practical focus on skill-building, problem solving, and emotional healing.
