About Margaret
Margaret Nteza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing parenting questions, low self-esteem, career stress, depression, and compassion fatigue. Her focus also includes body image, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, self-love, social anxiety, and workplace issues.
Margaret keeps sessions direct and practical. She invites clients to name what feels heavy and to notice how those feelings affect day-to-day life. Conversations focus on concrete steps: clearer communication, managing responsibilities, and small shifts in how someone talks to themselves. Progress is tracked through short-term goals and regular check-ins.
In session she encourages honest reflection about choices and patterns. That can include examining where guilt and shame come from and what they do in relationships and work. Discussions look at practical ways to tolerate hard feelings and make different decisions when ready.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients and Margaret set priorities together and pick exercises that fit each person’s routine. She also works on building skills for handling workplace stress and preventing burnout when compassion fatigue is an issue.
Margaret offers straightforward guidance for people juggling family roles and jobs while feeling stuck. She asks direct questions, listens carefully, and helps people try new habits between sessions. If you want to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Margaret uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. It teaches skills for shifting self-critical thoughts and for testing out new, more balanced ways of thinking in daily life.Another approach focuses on behavioral experiments and skill building. This method breaks big problems into small, doable steps such as practicing clearer communication at work or setting boundaries at home. It is useful for social anxiety, workplace stress, and rebuilding self-trust after shame-filled experiences.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match current needs, goals, and preferences. That includes trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats she offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists help clients plan how to use sessions for real-life problems and practice new skills between meetings.
