Margaret Hormenoo

Margaret Hormenoo is a licensed clinician who focuses on helping people navigate major life stressors. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship strain. She also offers support around immigration issues and multicultural concerns. Margaret holds an NC LCMHC and brings 17 years of clinical experience to her work.

Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.

Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional connection. These perspectives help people understand where old patterns come from and how to build different ways of relating. Margaret combines these with a respectful, listening stance so clients feel heard while they try new skills.

She has particular experience supporting people through end-of-life and hospice-related concerns. That work often includes grief processing, meaning-making, and managing difficult emotions that arise during transitions. Her multicultural background informs how she understands identity and migration stories in therapy.

Margaret speaks English, Akan, Ewe, and Twi. People from outside the United States may be matched for online work. To begin, prospective clients use the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions.

How these approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and situations that call for values-driven action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and on trying small behavioral experiments to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and closeness; this can be helpful when relationship habits or emotional reactivity are a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Margaret will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which ideas to emphasize and which practical steps to try between sessions, so therapy fits the person's life and aims.

Confirm current session options before booking to know the exact online formats offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For some people, not needing a commute helps maintain consistency; for others, video or phone choices let them pick what feels most manageable. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused strategies to an online setting so work can continue even when in-person visits are not possible.
