Margaret Lane, LCSW, LISW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Margaret!

Are you struggling with negative self-talk, anxiety, fear, or overwhelming thoughts? You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Ph.D. and over 25 years of clinical experience, I provide compassionate and effective support to individuals facing relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, panic attacks, stress, aging, grief, depression, PTSD, and medical illnesses/challenges. Whether navigating a life transition, coping with chronic illness, or healing from trauma.

My approach

I integrate a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. My practice is rooted in a strength-based perspective, empowering clients to build resilience and confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges.

My communication style

I offer a personalized, client-centered approach, providing a safe and supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and emotions at your pace, uncover meaningful insights, and work toward your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love what I do. Mental health often goes unnoticed because it’s not as visible as a broken arm, yet it affects every aspect of a person’s life. From an early age, I’ve been drawn to understanding people’s experiences and helping them navigate life’s challenges.

My goals for you

My approach to client-centered goal setting is rooted in collaboration, empowerment, and personalization. I believe that each individual’s journey is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic process to align with your specific needs, values, and aspirations.

Our first session

As your therapist, I am fully invested in your care, and our first session is an important step in building a strong, trusting foundation. You are the expert of your own life, and my role is to listen, understand, and support you in exploring your experiences, challenges, and goals.
