Virtual • New Hampshire


I am Margaret Swanson, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LICSW) in both Vermont and New Hampshire. I specialize in trauma - informed care and work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, bipolar disorder, substance abuse and relationship challenges. My approach draws heavily on Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) - approaches I believe are especially powerful when trauma has made it harder to trust others and move forward. I know how it feels to be stuck. With the right support, meaningful growth is possible. I offer telehealth sessions.

Therapist

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I have been providing therapy to adults for about 20 years. My favorite feedback has been "you're the first therapist I don't have to edit myself to". I am solution focused, open minded and creative as well as judgment free (nobody's path is a straight line). I have a PhD in Metaphysical Science and got my MS from Nova Southeastern University. I am a certified trauma specialist. I also have done extensive research on the prediction of violent behavior.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience helping individuals restore balance, build resilience, and reconnect with purpose. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a compassionate, person-centered style that supports clients in navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

As a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural therapist, I provide a space where every client feels seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Kokoro—a Japanese word meaning “mind, heart, and spirit”—reflects my belief that healing begins when the whole self is engaged with authenticity and intention.
