Getting to know Margaret Stohner

Margaret Stohner, LCSW, helps teens, adults, and seniors across Illinois build stability, insight, and lasting change during some of life’s most overwhelming moments. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with LifeStance Health, she provides individual, couples, and family therapy for clients ages 15 and older. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or relationship strain, Margaret offers structured, evidence-based care tailored to each person’s goals and stage of life. Margaret has a strong clinical focus on supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She is especially passionate about helping clients transition safely from higher levels of care back into their daily routines. Her work emphasizes relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and rebuilding confidence after crisis. By integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), she helps clients strengthen coping skills, increase psychological flexibility, and create sustainable recovery plans. In addition to hospital step-down care, Margaret treats ADHD, anxiety disorders, and bipolar disorder, while also addressing related challenges such as trauma, life transitions, and mood instability. She provides couples therapy and family therapy to improve communication and restore connection during periods of stress. Margaret has experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, military veterans, first responders, and individuals with developmental disabilities. She offers additional support for a range of other mental health concerns affecting adolescents, adults, and older adults. Her approach balances warmth with clinical precision. She collaborates closely with clients to clarify values, set measurable goals, and develop practical strategies that translate into real-world change. Margaret believes therapy should feel both validated and forward moving.
