About Margaret
Margaret Trussell-Brown is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Mississippi with 25 years of experience. She focuses on family concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and also lists social anxiety and phobia among her areas of focus.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and direct. Conversations focus on what is happening now, and on practical ways to handle upsetting situations. She encourages people to name what they feel and to try small changes between sessions.
Margaret uses a client-centered approach, which means she listens first and lets the client's priorities guide the work. Sessions often involve talking through problems, identifying patterns, and testing simple strategies for communication and stress. This approach works well for issues like communication problems, control issues, and relationship strain.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and life-purpose questions. She also works with panic attacks and post-traumatic stress concerns, and addresses body image and self-love issues when they come up.
Her style is steady and practical. She helps people break big problems into smaller, manageable steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options button.
How Client-Centered Work Translates to Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers attentive, non-directive listening, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set the agenda. This approach can help with relationship issues, self-esteem, and emotional reactions like anger or shame.When applied to concerns such as panic or social anxiety, the work is practical: identify what happens in triggering moments, practice small responses, and review what helps. The therapist checks in about progress and adjusts the focus based on what the client reports during sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods and pacing feel most useful. That discussion happens early so sessions match the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
