Dr. Marguerite Morgan

Dr. Marguerite Morgan is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with more than three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma, relationship struggles, grief, depression, anxiety, and parenting concerns. Her work often centers on helping people regain a sense of self-worth and steady routines after painful life changes.

Dr. Morgan uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Sessions blend practical coping skills with attention to how upbringing, faith, and values shape a person’s sense of identity.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University and a Doctor of Philosophy from Columbus University. The LMSW credential is noted as her professional license in Michigan. Over 33 years she has worked with adults facing bereavement, maternal mental health challenges, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns.

In conversation she attends to the whole person - beliefs, relationships, and daily stressors rather than only symptoms. She aims to help people set clear, realistic goals, practice new skills, and notice small changes that add up over time. Practical strategies might include breathing and mindfulness exercises, thought-restructuring, and building routines that support recovery.

Outside of clinical work she identifies as a widow, mother, grandmother, and church leader and brings those life experiences into her empathic perspective. People who prefer a therapy style that blends faith-informed values with evidence-based techniques may find her approach familiar and straightforward.

How trauma-informed and attachment work translates to online therapy

Dr. Morgan integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past traumatic events by helping people process distressing memories and learn coping skills. Trauma-focused work often involves grounding techniques, pacing exposure to hard material, and building tools to manage strong emotions.

She also uses attachment-based methods that look at how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. This approach helps people notice recurring relationship habits and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting techniques over time rather than committing to a single method from the first session.

Confirm the offered session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work or caregiving, make it easier to keep regular appointments, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If video or phone sessions are available, those choices each have practical benefits such as being on camera for visual cues or using audio-only for times with limited bandwidth or a quicker check-in.
