About Margaret

Margaret Auguste is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. She practices in New Jersey and helps people coping with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and other life stresses. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to meet people with respect and compassion.

Margaret spends sessions listening first and then shaping the work to each person. She blends practical strategies with conversational therapy to address everyday problems. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, improving communication, or building skills to manage strong emotions.

She has supported people after trauma and emotional abuse, and she helps those dealing with parenting challenges, career stress, addictions, grief, and identity questions. Margaret also works with clients facing mood and attention concerns, including bipolar disorder and ADHD, and with issues around intimacy and codependency.

Her clinical approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-informed work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and client-centered methods. Margaret adapts these methods to fit each person’s goals and pace rather than applying a single recipe.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability. Margaret aims to empower people to make concrete changes and to build sustainable coping skills for life’s harder moments.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose values-based actions. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants more purposeful action rather than just symptom relief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behavior, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Margaret will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most doable. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options when booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools like skill practice and worksheets between meetings to reinforce what was discussed.
