About Margaret

Margaret Buchholz is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Minnesota with eight years of experience in the mental health field. She earned her undergraduate degree from Southwest Minnesota State University in 2014 and began her career working in a residential treatment center. After gaining early clinical experience, she completed a Master of Social Work at the University of South Dakota in 2016 and spent a short period working in a hospital setting before moving to an outpatient mental health clinic in Southwest Minnesota, where she has continued her practice.

She holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW, which indicate advanced training in social work and the ability to provide independent clinical services. Her caseload has included a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, trauma, abuse, bullying, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, addiction, teen issues, grief, and life adjustments. Margaret favors a person-centered, relaxed, and non-threatening therapeutic approach that emphasizes respect and compassion and meets clients where they are.

Margaret primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a short-term, goal-oriented method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She will collaborate with clients to determine priorities and tailor her work to their needs, which may include challenging thought processes and practicing new coping skills. She values building a constructive therapeutic relationship and supporting clients as they work toward meaningful change.

Margaret is not currently accepting new clients.

Online Therapy and Goal-Focused Clinical Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems like anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with life changes. It is typically structured, short-term, and focused on measurable goals. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, guiding style that helps people explore their own reasons for change and strengthen their motivation when facing habits or addictions. It is useful for ambivalence around change and building readiness to take steps forward. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical, forward-looking strategies to identify strengths and small, achievable steps toward the client’s goals, which can be helpful when someone wants targeted, outcome-oriented work.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Margaret will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques to what feels most useful and comfortable for the client, inviting ongoing conversation about progress and adjustments.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while still allowing for meaningful, goal-driven therapeutic work.
