Margaret Gibson Ellison, LPC

Margaret Gibson Ellison is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience helping adults address anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, trauma, relationship difficulties, and pressures from the broader social context. She holds specialty certifications in chemical and sexual addiction and is certified as a Rainbow Advocate Educator, bringing focused expertise to work with clients who face addiction and LGBTQIA+ related concerns.

Her career has spanned a range of treatment environments including inpatient and outpatient settings, private practice, and virtual platforms, and she has maintained a private practice in Conyers, Georgia for the past 14 years. That breadth of experience informs a collaborative, client-centered, and motivational style that emphasizes building clear goals together and using the therapeutic relationship as a tool for change.

Margaret emphasizes individualized, holistic care rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. She listens with objectivity, supports clients in identifying and pursuing personally meaningful goals, and adapts interventions to each person’s unique history and strengths. Her work is grounded in approaches that prioritize client autonomy and growth.

She enjoys working with adults aged 18 and over and focuses on creating a therapeutic alliance that facilitates personal development and resilience. Across her practice, Margaret draws on training and techniques tailored to trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and other areas of concern to support sustained progress and wellbeing.
