Prof. Margaret Anzalone

Prof. Margaret Anzalone brings a client-centered approach to therapy. She combines listening and practical problem-solving to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Margaret uses straightforward tools so people can make changes that matter in daily life.

With 31 years of experience, she has worked across many personal and life challenges. She helps people dealing with grief, addiction, sleep and eating issues, and parenting stress. She also supports those navigating gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and caregiving strain.

Her work draws on familiar methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions aim to identify patterns, test small changes, and build coping skills. Conversations focus on what feels most useful for the person in front of her.

Margaret holds an MA and practices as a LICSW and LCSW in Maine. She emphasizes respect for each person's dignity and meets people where they are. That approach guides how she talks about goals, setbacks, and next steps.

People often come for help with career transitions, midlife questions, panic and trauma symptoms, or struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. Margaret works collaboratively to set clear, manageable goals and to track progress over time.

How online approaches and methods can support change

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusted working relationship. Online sessions using this approach aim to let people set their own goals while the therapist reflects concerns back and helps clarify next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In an online CBT-informed session, the therapist may guide simple experiments and homework to reduce anxiety, anger, or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That process is collaborative and practical, with room to shift emphasis between mindfulness, problem-solving, or skill practice as needed.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work with life by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins, and enabling scheduling across time zones for international clients. It also lets people try different session rhythms and homework that fit their daily routine while keeping the focus on clear, achievable steps.
