Margaret Johnson

Margaret Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing divorce and separation, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She listens to the concerns you bring and focuses on your goals. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping you make choices that match your values.

Margaret draws on 20 years of experience and mixes talk therapy with hands-on strategies. She uses approaches that help people process trauma and understand what matters in their lives. Sessions include work on emotional awareness, motivation, and skills to manage stress and difficult feelings.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Central Washington University and a Master of Arts in Existential Phenomenological Therapeutic Psychology from Seattle University. Margaret also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, into her sessions when trauma processing is useful.

Expect a strengths-based, authentic approach that centers your agenda. Margaret helps you notice patterns such as codependency or relationship dynamics and then practices new responses with you. She supports clients through decisions about separation, recovery from domestic violence or substance concerns, and rebuilding after major life changes.

Clients can expect clear, plain talk and focused tools they can use between sessions. Margaret accepts international clients and offers work tailored to each person’s situation and pace.

How EMDR and Existential Work Translate to Online Therapy

Existential therapy focuses on what matters most to you. It helps people weigh values, meaning, and choice in the middle of life changes such as separation or career shifts. Sessions tend to be reflective and aim at clearer decision making and greater self-understanding.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to help process disturbing memories and their emotional charge. In practice it guides attention while you recall difficult events, which can reduce the intensity of those memories and their impact on day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Margaret will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is based on the issue being addressed, safety, and personal preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The practical benefits of remote therapy often include easier scheduling around work and family demands, fewer travel needs, and the ability to check in from different locations. The therapist’s profile does not list specific online or phone formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Sessions are structured to fit real-life routines and to support steady progress over time.
