Margaret Dwiggins, M.S., LPC Associate, PhD Educational Psychology

Supervised by Shannon Moseley, LPC Supervisor and Shannon Kouser, LPC Supervisor

You’ve achieved a lot — and you’re still not at peace.

Whether you’re navigating leadership pressure, academic demands, or a signficant life transiton, therapy can be a space to recalibrate - not simply cope, but gain clarity, steadiness, and direction.

I specialize in working with driven individuals who appear successful on the outside but privately struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, self-doubt, or persistent mental noise. Many describe feeling “always on” in a world of constant notifications, comparison, and digital distraction.

With a PhD in Educational Psychology and research focused on smartphone dependence, FOMO (fear of missing out), and learning, I bring a unique lens to therapy. I understand how performance pressure, technology overuse, and cognitive overload impact confidence, focus, and emotional well-being. Together, we’ll work to quiet the noise both internally and externally.

My approach integrates evidence-based counseling with performance focused mindset work. I work from a person centered foundation and draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with neuroscience informed strategies, to help you:

  • Reduce anxiety and performance pressure

  • Strengthen focus and cognitive clarity

  • Establish healthier boundaries with work and technology

  • Navigate career and life transitions with confidence

  • Recover from burnout while building sustainable success

Before becoming a counselor, I worked in executive and academic environments and understand firsthand the weight of high-expectation settings. During my doctoral training, I developed research-informed cognitive performance systems - practical tools I now integrate into therapy to support clarity, resilience, and sustainable success.

Therapy with me is structured, thoughtful, and collaborative. You are the expert on your life; I bring clinical insight and focused curiousity to help you gain clarity, make intentional decisions, and build a life aligned with your values.

I work with adults in person in the DFW area and via telehealth throughout Texas.

For clients who prioritize discretion, I offer a Classic Care Model that utilizes traditional paper records and limits digital storage in accordance with clinical and legal requirements.

If you’re ready to go from worry to winning, I would be honored to work with you.
