About Margaret
Margaret Auguste is a licensed marriage and family therapist with two decades of experience. She practices in New Jersey and helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and the ripple effects of trauma. Her work also covers relationship strain, self-esteem, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and identity-related struggles such as LGBT issues.
Clients can expect a warm, respectful approach that avoids labels. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady steps forward.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and practical, with attention to what a person needs day to day. Margaret draws on several evidence-based approaches, including the Gottman Method and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses attachment-focused and client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques.
Those tools are used to tailor the work to each person's situation rather than fitting people to one method. Her style blends active listening with structured skills practice. That means identifying patterns that cause pain, learning small behavioral changes, and building habits that support better coping.
Therapy may include short exercises, behavioral experiments, and conversations about emotion and meaning. Margaret aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can try new ways of relating to themselves and others. She guides practical plans for handling conflict, grief, or life transitions.
The focus is on useful, manageable steps that make daily life more manageable.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful behavior rather than getting stuck in hard thoughts. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication patterns and rebuilding trust through practical skills and structured exercises that address relationship strain and repeated conflict. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relational patterns and how they influence current bonds, helping people understand their emotional responses and develop more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Margaret collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in regularly so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people practice communication skills in real time, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat works well for brief check-ins or tracking progress between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life changes.
