About Margaret
Margaret Sue Echols is a licensed professional counselor with 34 years in mental health work. She practices in Texas and focuses on adults and couples. Her approach aims to help people manage worry, grief, relationship pain, depression, addiction, and life transitions.
She listens first to understand what is most distressing. Sessions are conversational and practical. She blends traditional talk therapy with mindfulness, relaxation, and skill-building to help people cope day to day.
Background and approach
Jungian ideas inform parts of her work, using imagery and deeper personal meaning when helpful. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and emotionally-focused methods to address relationship dynamics. Clients can expect a mix of reflection and concrete tools.
Margaret helps people set reachable goals, practice new behaviors, and notice patterns that get in the way. She includes coaching elements when clients want more direction on practical steps. Her background includes nearly three decades in independent practice and longer experience across many clinical settings.
She identifies as Christian but respects other faiths and cultural perspectives. All sessions are tailored to the individual or couple and aimed at restoring balance and clearer direction.

Online support
Approach and online options for therapy
Margaret integrates Jungian therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in ways that bring both depth and action to online sessions. Jungian therapy invites attention to personal symbols, dreams, and life stories to uncover meaning and inner patterns. This can help when someone feels stuck or wants to understand recurring life themes. ACT focuses on values and committed action while teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person or couple about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the work as needed so the therapy fits the person's life and aims.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video helps preserve face-to-face connection for deeper conversations. Phone sessions are often easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can work well for brief coaching, tracking progress, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep regular contact over time.
