Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Margaret Sicari, but please call me Peggy. I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of New York where I have been practicing for over 25 years. I’ve been a therapist in private practice, a clinician in an agency, a social worker in a high school, a clinical supervisor and Director in a program. I have worked with individuals, couples, families and groups.
My experience in a variety of settings and positions have resulted in me working with a diversity of people with a diversity of life challenges. The most common issues clients present are anxiety and depression, relationship problems, emotional abuse, childhood trauma, damaged self-esteem and poor coping skills. I have also worked extensively with individuals and families struggling with substance use disorders, intervening to assist clients in achieving and sustaining recovery and supporting the family members impacted by the disease including ACOA’s (Adult Children of Alcoholics and other addictions).
Counseling is an interactive and collaborative process. What we focus on and how we focus on it is determined by us discussing and agreeing on the plan for achieving your goals. Making you feel comfortable and building a trusting relationship is essential to your success and a top priority for me as we begin our work together. I am here to assist in broadening your understanding of yourself and your situation; building on your strengths and adding new tools to your coping skills; and finding the best path for resolving your current life challenges.
You have take the first difficulty step and reached out for help. I look forward to being the person who take the next one with you.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that best fits their needs and schedule, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to weave therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity of care.
Another advantage is access to licensed professionals. These therapists offer evidence-based guidance and, if a particular fit is not ideal, clients have the option to switch to a different therapist at any time.
For many people facing everyday mental health concerns, online therapy provides an effective, adaptable path to support and progress.
