About Margaretta
Margaretta Reyolds is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship problems, and grief. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and postpartum depression. Her style is warm and down-to-earth and she aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.
Margaretta draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and emotional bonding. Narrative and Jungian ideas are woven in when exploring personal stories and meaning. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life changes.
Clients can expect to talk through immediate problems, learn practical coping steps, and try new skills between sessions. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and looks for doable ways to reduce distress. With 15 years of clinical experience as an LMFT, Margaretta combines clinical familiarity with a straightforward manner.
She works with parents who need practical strategies for family stress, and with individuals navigating life transitions and mood concerns. International clients who speak English may also connect with her. She offers multiple session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s availability.

Online approaches that meet everyday parenting challenges
Attachment-based work looks at how close relationships shape behavior and emotions. It helps when parenting stress or relationship patterns affect how people respond to children and partners. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person’s goals guide each session and the therapist listens to help clarify next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Margaretta will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then suggest ways to try those approaches together. That collaborative planning helps shape a short-term focus or a longer path depending on how things progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a childcare routine, or travel schedules.
