Margaret Doman , LCSW

Margaret Doman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who brings two decades of experience to her therapeutic practice. She works with individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families across a wide range of concerns, including addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and stress, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and issues with self-esteem and anger. Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and the effects of disaster-related trauma.

Her approach is strength-focused and eclectic, drawing on empirically supported methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She emphasizes a holistic view of well-being, considering the whole person in their unique environment, culture, and life context. Margaret aims to provide a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps clients gain insight, build coping skills, and develop practical plans for change and growth toward a more functional, fulfilled life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Margaret draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward meaningful life changes while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical strategies for symptom relief and skill building. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, creating a space where clients can explore experiences and find their own solutions.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Margaret works with each person to assess their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for their needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life demands. These formats support regular contact, allow tailoring of session style to individual comfort, and help clients access licensed professionals when in-person visits are difficult.
