About Margaret
Margaret Sumption is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or career and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, and she aims to meet each person where they are.
She listens carefully and adapts conversations to fit what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps to build confidence, manage emotions, and handle everyday pressures. Margaret emphasizes respect and sensitivity in every interaction.
Across her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing neurodiversity-related issues, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and adjustment after disasters. These areas often overlap, and she helps people untangle what matters most to them.
Her approach is collaborative: she and the client shape goals and plans together. Margaret tailors the path forward instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. She encourages small, achievable changes that build toward better self-esteem and daily functioning.
Margaret practices in South Dakota and offers services in English. She accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
