Hi, I'm Margeaux Groene, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. I bring a wealth of experience and passion to my work with adolescents and adults seeking help with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), and substance use disorders. Originally from Tidewater, Virginia, I graduated from Calvin College with a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communication and earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. During my counseling internship, I focused on the effective use of telehealth treatment with the adolescent population. I am skilled in the treatment of substance use disorders, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and co-occurring disorders such as depression and trauma. My previous positions with Synergy Counseling LLC, Caron Treatment Center’s Northern Virginia location, and most recently, New Paradigm Recovery, have given me years of experience working in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient settings. These experiences have honed my specialization in the treatment of co-occurring substance use disorders and PTSD. My passion for working with clients suffering from unresolved trauma and clinically treatable PTSD led me to obtain training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through the EMDRIA-approved Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy in January 2022. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals and improve your well-being!

My priority is helping you reach your goals. To that end, I often use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Narrative therapies, primarily, to help you reach those goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Columbia, SC
Searching for therapists in Columbia starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Columbia therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to work on. Some therapists may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their profiles.
Columbia offers a balanced mix of local therapy options, with therapists serving areas near Downtown, Shandon, Forest Acres, Five Points, and nearby communities. You may prefer an in-person office close to work, school, or home, or a virtual appointment that fits more easily into your schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, what sessions may look like, and whether their communication style feels like a good fit.
Therapy in Columbia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, confirm your insurance details, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
