About Margarette
Margarette Charles is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey with 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and intimacy-related concerns. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away and adapts each session to the person in front of her. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and straightforward support.
Clients can expect calm, focused conversations that aim to clarify what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions often include chances to name difficult feelings, build small routines that reduce overwhelm, and practice clearer ways of communicating. She pays attention to motivation and confidence as part of long-term change. Margarette also supports people facing big life transitions.
That work includes coping with separation or divorce, navigating pregnancy and postpartum changes, and adjusting to aging or geriatric concerns. She helps people weigh options, set realistic goals, and create steps that feel doable. Other areas she addresses include panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
She tailors the conversation and plan to the issues each person brings rather than following a fixed script. Sessions are offered in English and use methods grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Margarette encourages small, measurable changes and works collaboratively to find what helps a person gain more control over daily life.
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Margarette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. One common approach helps people identify and shift patterns that feed anxiety and depression by practicing new thinking and behavior habits. Another approach she uses emphasizes building small daily routines and coping skills to reduce overwhelm and improve mood, which is useful for panic attacks, SAD, and postpartum challenges.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She works with each person to review what feels most important, then tries methods that match their goals and preferences. If something doesn’t fit, she adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is good for in-depth sessions and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and messaging helps people process thoughts between meetings. These options provide flexibility and consistent contact while working toward practical goals.
