About Margaret
Margaret Buchholz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with both LCSW and LICSW credentials practicing in Minnesota. She has eight years of experience in the mental health field and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, anger, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
She began working in residential treatment after earning her bachelor degree in 2014 and completed a Master of Social Work in 2016 from the University of South Dakota. Early work included a hospital setting and then continued in outpatient mental health in Southwest Minnesota, where she has remained employed.
Her approach is person-centered and relaxed. She focuses on building a respectful therapeutic relationship and works on what the client feels matters most. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented rather than long-term open-ended therapy.
Margaret primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thinking and behavior patterns and offers concrete ways to challenge them. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to support change and clarify small, achievable steps.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and goal work. She describes therapy as collaborative and may directly challenge unhelpful thinking when it serves progress. The emphasis is on clear strategies and steady problem-solving for everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Margaret commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete techniques to change them. CBT is useful for anger that comes from recurring thoughts or learned responses, and it lends itself to hands-on exercises and short goals.She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change and build readiness for action. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to set small, practical steps and track progress week to week.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation shapes session focus and homework so the work stays practical and manageable.
