    About Margaret

    Margaret "Maggie" Nash is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of private practice experience in Florida. She brings a direct, down-to-earth style and a sense of humor to sessions. Humor is woven into her work to help with grieving, recovery, and problem solving. Maggie writes and occasionally does TV interviews about mental health topics.

    Maggie focuses on problems that often come from relationships - with others and with oneself. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with sleep or eating difficulties, parenting strain, career stress, and major life changes.

    Her approach combines client-centered listening with practical strategies. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy depending on a person’s needs.

    Maggie describes herself as compassionate and persistent. She works with people who feel stuck, punishing themselves, or who doubt that change is possible. Her goal is to help clients notice small shifts that add up to real improvements in daily life.

    Outside the therapy room she has written about mental health and speaks publicly at times. Her long experience in private practice informs a straightforward, hopeful way of working that aims for practical results.

  2. How therapy approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters most to them and find personal reasons to make changes. Online sessions using this approach can help with addictions, ambivalence about change, and steps toward healthier routines. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgment. In online sessions this means the therapist provides a compassionate space to talk through feelings, identity concerns, and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns. When done remotely CBT can include homework and short skill practice between sessions to build daily improvements. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That conversation often begins in early sessions and can change as needs evolve. Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. When offered, online sessions can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit into a workday or caregiving routine. They also allow for focused check-ins and practical homework between meetings, which many people find helpful for making steady progress.
