Margaret Doman, LCSW

Margaret Doman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with adults on issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and family struggles, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Sessions are direct and practical, aimed at helping people handle upsetting feelings and difficult situations without judgment.

Margaret uses a mix of approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered practice. She focuses on concrete skills people can use between sessions - for example, noticing triggers, shifting unhelpful thinking, and practicing new ways of responding when anger or stress rises. The work includes talking, skill practice, and planning small steps for change.

Her background includes leadership roles in children's mental health programs and outpatient substance abuse treatment, plus supervision of adolescent respite and treatment services. That experience exposed her to a range of behaviors and life situations, including trauma, displacement, and caregiver stress. She draws on this history when helping people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.

Margaret emphasizes building on existing strengths. She helps people identify patterns that cause strain and then tests practical alternatives. Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded, with a focus on measurable progress and clearer relationships.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
