About Margarette
Margarette Charles is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns, depression, and life changes. Her practice also addresses guilt and shame along with related struggles such as isolation, communication problems, and mood disorders.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and on manageable next steps. She adapts conversation and planning to the person in the room rather than following a rigid script.
Margarette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. That means she selects tools that fit the problem at hand, whether the immediate need is lowering panic, improving communication, or building steadier mood. She explains options clearly and checks in about what is and isn't helpful.
Her background includes a dozen years of helping people navigate relationship strain, major life transitions, and the emotional fallout from pregnancy, postpartum, and aging. She also supports people dealing with prejudice, seasonal mood shifts, and recovery from self-harm impulses.
People who reach out can expect practical conversation about goals, skills to try between sessions, and a focus on small changes that can ease daily life. To begin the process she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Margarette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions. One common approach focuses on skills for anxiety and panic - teaching simple breathing and grounding exercises, identifying triggers, and practicing small behavioral changes to reduce immediate intensity. This work is useful when fast relief for panic or anxiety symptoms is needed.Another typical approach targets mood and self-esteem by breaking problems into manageable steps. That can include tracking patterns that keep low mood in place, trying new behaviors that shift daily routine, and building clearer communication habits for relationships and intimacy issues. These techniques help when life feels stuck or motivation is low.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and chooses techniques based on their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
