About Margaret

Margaret Buchholz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship struggles. She focuses on practical steps that make life easier. She meets people where they are and works to create a calm, non-threatening space for change.

She has eight years of clinical experience and practices in Minnesota. Margaret began her career after graduating from Southwest Minnesota State University and later completed a Master of Social Work at the University of South Dakota in 2016.

Background and approach

Early work in residential treatment and hospital settings shaped her hands-on approach to care. In outpatient settings she has supported people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, obsessive thoughts, trauma, bullying, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, and big life adjustments. She uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning.

Her typical style is person-centered and relaxed. Sessions emphasize working together to set short-term goals and address what matters most to the client. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when they fit the situation.

Margaret aims to treat clients with respect and compassion while challenging thinking patterns that limit progress. She encourages small, practical changes and supports clients as they try new skills. Reaching out is a meaningful first step, and she seeks to make that step feel worthwhile and manageable.

Online support

How her approaches work in online therapy

Margaret uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that cause or worsen stress and low mood. CBT is practical and often involves homework between sessions to practice new skills.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach is useful when someone feels unsure or stuck about making a change, and it focuses on drawing out personal goals and motivation.

Choosing the right approach is a team process. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and then suggest approaches that fit. That way the work matches what the client wants and what feels doable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text works well for shorter updates, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
