Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Margaret Auguste draws from several well-established therapy approaches to support clients dealing with concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more effective ways of responding in everyday situations.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by learning to make room for difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. This can be especially useful when anxiety, mood concerns, or ongoing stress keep someone feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy adds a relationship-focused lens, exploring how early and current connections influence trust, communication, and closeness in adult relationships and family life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Margaret works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapts the plan as needs evolve over time.
Online therapy also makes support easier to fit into real life. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions and around busy schedules.
