Margaret Doman

Margaret Doman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. She works with individuals facing addictions, depression, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Margaret aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for people under pressure.

She brings two decades as an LCSW and many more years in helping professions overall. Her background includes leadership roles in substance abuse treatment, youth respite and treatment programs, and children’s mental health services. That work involved supporting people affected by displacement, separation, trauma, neglect, and abuse.

Margaret uses a strengths-based, eclectic approach. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and steps people can try between meetings. She blends methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused work, and acceptance-based strategies to match each person’s needs.

She has experience working with clients across the lifespan, from children and adolescents to adults, and has worked in a range of cultural and religious communities. That background shapes an awareness of how different environments affect feelings and behavior.

In therapy she aims to create a supportive relationship where people can understand what gets in the way, set realistic goals, and build a plan for change. Whether the concern is family stress, trauma, coping with natural or human-caused disaster, or daily anxiety, she focuses on clear steps people can use in everyday life.
