About Marguerite

Dr. Marguerite Morgan is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 33 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, parenting strains, and issues tied to family background, including family of origin problems.

She commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing alongside attachment-focused and client-centered approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and conversations about how early family roles and expectations still show up now. That can mean looking at communication habits, boundaries, self-worth, or patterns that repeat in relationships.

Dr. Morgan integrates faith and spirituality into sessions when clients want that included. She also draws on mindfulness practices and tools for stress management or coping with life changes. Discussions may cover grief and loss, maternal mental health concerns, and challenges around parenting or caregiving.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University and a Doctor of Philosophy. She identifies as a widow, mother, grandmother, and church leader, and she sometimes references faith-based perspectives alongside clinical ideas when appropriate to a client's goals.

In sessions, she tends to work in a results-oriented way that maps progress and next steps. People who are exploring how childhood roles and family expectations shape present choices often find concrete strategies and steady problem-solving in the work together.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and behavior. Online work using attachment ideas often looks at current relationship patterns, closeness, and boundaries, and helps identify new ways of connecting and responding.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and choices. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's priorities while offering feedback and practical suggestions when useful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thinking and behavior patterns into actionable steps. Online CBT sessions commonly include brief at-home exercises, tracking mood or behavior, and trying small experiments between meetings to test new habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
