Hi. I’m Margaret Doman. I am a licensed clinical social worker. My professional training was with an emphasis in clinical social work with individuals and families, with the utilization of psychodynamic processing and therapeutic counseling models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotional Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy among others. From my professional experience, I bring over 34 years of experience working with people in the helping professions, including over 17 years as a clinical social worker. I have worked directly with clients of all ages, children through adolescents and adults, in a variety of settings. I have worked with clients with a variety of presenting issues and dilemmas, including depression, anxiety and stress, anger management, grief and loss, marital and relationship discord, family and parenting difficulties, trauma and emotional abuse, and mental health disorders. I have worked indirectly as a Clinical Supervisor over children's mental health programs which provided therapeutic and case management services to children who suffered displacement, separation, trauma neglect and abuse and accompanying behavioral and mental health issues. I have worked as a Program Director of an outpatient substance abuse treatment program. I have worked as a program supervisor over an adolescent respite and treatment program providing shelter, behavior modification, and individual and family counseling for troubled teens. From my personal experience I bring decades of experience, including living and working within a variety of cultures, and religious and ethnic communities, making me aware and sensitive to the nuances of individuals’ diversity and challenges. As a social worker I recognize that life, with all its possible joys and wonderment, presents us with many varied challenges and barriers to being and feeling fulfilled, happy, content, satisfied, or good and at peace with our lives and the relationships that we desire, seek, and pursue. For the most part we cope and manage to come out on top; however, life can also overwhelm us and we might find ourselves in an ever-increasing downward spiral of unhappiness, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, problems with life and relationships, and maybe a general sense of futility and hopelessness. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health therapy, taking into consideration all aspects of being a person in their particular unique environment and circumstance. My therapeutic approach is strength-based, using eclectic therapeutic techniques, providing a supportive counseling relationship, whereby you can explore and gain understanding and insights to drive your resolve, action plan, change, and growth towards that stronger, happier, functional, fulfilled you!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to handle everything life is throwing at you, therapy can give you space to step back, make sense of what’s going on, and decide what to do next. I work with adults who want to gain insight, explore their experiences, and build practical strategies that feel useful in real life. AREAS I SPECIALIZE IN: • Anxiety, stress, and burnout • Depression and mood-related concerns • Trauma and recovery from abuse or neglect • Work-related stress and career challenges • Parenting stress and caregiver fatigue • Adjustment to disability (your own or a loved one’s) • LGBTQ+ affirming care and identity exploration WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME My style is direct, collaborative, and conversational. I ask meaningful questions, offer honest feedback, and help you look at things from new angles. I approach therapy with curiosity, respect, and a sense of humor. Sessions often feel like thoughtful, structured conversations — not stiff or scripted. I use research-backed methods to help us understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact: • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and shift unhelpful thought loops and behavioral patterns. On a deeper level, it helps us explore where these loops began and the core beliefs or stories that have kept them going. • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Focuses on your existing strengths, tracks small wins, and helps define clear goals. It doesn't dismiss problems but keeps our work future-focused and actionable. • Motivational Interviewing (MI): Supports change by helping you clarify what matters, even if you feel ambivalent. Whether you’re not ready, thinking about change, or already taking steps, MI meets you where you are. • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Builds psychological flexibility by helping you notice unhelpful mental habits, accept uncomfortable thoughts, and take actions guided by your values. • Trauma-Focused Therapy – including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which helps process and reframe difficult experiences by exploring the meanings we’ve made about ourselves and the world in the aftermath of trauma WHAT TO EXPECT IN OUR FIRST SESSION In our first session, we’ll start with what feels most important to you. That might mean discussing your current concerns, reviewing relevant background, and exploring what you’d like from therapy. But it can also be a space to let out what you’ve been holding in. If you're not ready to dive into goals just yet, we can gather that information gradually. I’ll provide enough structure to guide us, while leaving room for what you need most in the moment. A BIT ABOUT ME I have a PsyD in Counseling Psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University. My background includes work in neuropsychological assessment, vocational counseling, and brief therapy models. I’ve worked in schools, hospitals, and private practice, with a wide range of clients. I’m informed by brain science, trauma research, and the reality that our identities, communities, environments, and cognitive or physical abilities all shape our mental health. I strive to offer care that’s respectful of each person’s lived experience — including neurodiversity, disability, and the unique challenges and strengths we all bring. MY PHILOSOPHY Some people come to therapy like they would a doctor — when something feels off and they want to get back on track. Others use therapy more like the gym or a salon — a regular check-in and form of self-care. I support both. Whether we’re addressing something acute or investing in your growth, I want therapy to be worth your time. We’ll explore patterns, build skills, and reconnect with your strengths. We may dig into the past or focus on the present. No matter where we start, my goal is to help you move forward.
