Jamie "Rose" Marghi, LCMFT

Jamie "Rose" Marghi helps people facing midlife changes and common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. She also supports those managing ADHD, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns. Rose brings a calm, straightforward style and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

She trained as a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and completed family studies degrees at the University of Maryland. Rose blends a systems view with attention to how a person's body and history affect feelings. That means she looks at what's happening inside a person and how family and work systems shape those patterns.

In sessions she helps people set clear goals and notice what is working in their lives. She uses client-centered conversations so people feel seen, and teaches tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change thinking and behavior. She also brings somatic and trauma-focused ideas when past events or bodily responses are getting in the way.

Rose describes her work as strength-based. She highlights existing strengths from the first session and helps people find their voice in daily life. The focus is on practical change at home, at work, and in relationships rather than labels or quick fixes.

With 22 years of clinical experience in Maryland, she aims for respectful, down-to-earth sessions that help people rescue themselves and move toward clearer choices and greater emotional ease.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions using this approach let people speak about what matters most and be heard without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. In remote sessions CBT often uses brief homework and clear steps to practice between meetings. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily reactions to stress and trauma and includes gentle awareness of physical cues to help shift emotional responses.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the person's needs and preferences.

Confirm current session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't possible, and reduce travel time. It also allows people to use strategies learned in sessions during their normal routines. Licensed professionals adapt tools and pacing so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
