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 problems, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, depression, anxiety, and stress. Her practice also addresses parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

She favors practical, focused conversations that connect current problems to earlier attachment patterns. Dr. Morgan often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and mindfulness to support emotion regulation and healthier relating.

Dr. Morgan integrates faith and cultural sensitivity into her approach when clients wish to include those elements. She brings attention to values, identity, and self-worth in sessions. Her background includes work with maternal mental health concerns such as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and maternal grief and loss.

People who have experienced domestic violence, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, family of origin problems, or substance-related concerns are within her listed focus areas. She also lists codependency and caregiver stress among areas she addresses. Conversations in sessions look at patterns, choices, and small steps that can change daily life.

Outside of clinical work she is a widow, mother and grandmother. She earned a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University and holds a Doctorate of Philosophy. Dr. Morgan combines clinical experience with practical skills people can try between sessions.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Morgan often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression, and self-criticism. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills and homework you can practice between meetings to notice different responses.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns with partners or family. This approach helps when people keep putting others first or struggle with closeness and trust.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. They then choose methods and practical steps to try and check in on progress together.

Confirm the therapist's current online session formats before booking since the biography did not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about pacing, homework, and how to structure sessions to match everyday life and goals.
