About Margie

Margie Segress is a Washington-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship tension, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and supportive for anyone ready to take a first step toward change.

Margie creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters. She encourages open conversation and helps people name feelings, patterns, and practical next steps. She aims to make each session feel manageable and grounded in everyday concerns.

In her work she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues tied to attachment and communication. She helps clients examine control issues, guilt and shame, and challenges around life purpose and midlife transitions. Sessions often include goal-setting and skills people can use between meetings.

Margie has experience both as a counselor and as adjunct faculty at the school where she earned her degree. That background informs a clear, educational approach that breaks complex topics into small, workable steps. She supports people who want to build self-love and stronger relationship habits.

People who choose Margie often want practical tools alongside emotional understanding. She invites clients to move at a pace that feels right and to try small changes that add up over time. If you are considering therapy, she encourages completing the intake steps and matching process to see if this is a good fit.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Many of the techniques Margie uses are evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present problems and teach practical skills. One common approach helps people learn coping strategies for anxiety and mood symptoms by teaching small behavior and thinking changes that reduce distress. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping clients build safety, name painful memories, and develop pacing and grounding skills to manage reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Margie will work with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they can try methods, review how they felt, and adjust the plan to fit the person’s daily life and needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from different locations, which helps those living outside the therapist's region or trying to match therapy to work and family rhythms.
