About Margaretta
Margaretta Reyolds is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles. She often supports clients dealing with parenting challenges, grief, sleep problems, addiction, ADHD, and life transitions. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and readable for busy people.
She favors a narrative style that helps people untangle the stories they tell about themselves. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past connections shape current reactions.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when changing thoughts and habits can ease symptoms quickly. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. The therapist listens for patterns and then works with the person to test small changes.
Topics might include coping strategies for anxiety, new ways to handle jealousy, or plans to manage mood swings and bipolar symptoms. Margaretta brings 15 years of experience as an LMFT in California. Her background includes work with trauma, postpartum depression, personality disorder concerns, and substance use issues.
She emphasizes practical steps and collaborative problem solving rather than technical jargon. People who prefer guided, story-focused work will find she keeps explanations simple and actionable. She offers several online formats so sessions can fit into a daily routine.
International clients may also connect in English.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas work online
Margaretta often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories. That approach looks at patterns in the stories you repeat and opens space for new choices. It is useful for relationship issues, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how earlier relationships influence current reactions. This helps when anxiety, jealousy, or recurring conflicts feel rooted in how you connect with others. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the session tone by keeping the person heard and steering conversations at the client’s pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose or blend methods together. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is convenient for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
