Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson, LPC-MHSP

Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson is a licensed professional counselor with the LPC-MHSP credential and six years of clinical experience in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues with respect and compassion. Maggie adapts her approach to each person rather than using a single method for everyone.

Her work includes support for people facing trauma and abuse, mood concerns, sleeping problems, and challenges tied to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria matters. She also addresses practical life stresses like career change, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and dealing with infidelity or communication breakdowns. Maggie uses straightforward conversation to clarify what matters to each person and to set small, achievable goals.

Clinically she draws from several approaches to fit the situation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Emotionally-Focused and Narrative work help name feelings and reshape stories people tell about themselves. Solution-Focused and psychodynamic ideas are used when they match a client's goals.

Maggie emphasizes a collaborative process. She listens, asks questions, and crafts a plan with the person in front of her. That plan may include short-term steps or longer work depending on needs.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a cancelable subscription model and vary in cost by location and scheduling.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then commit to actions that align with what they value. This can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming and processing feelings to improve how someone understands and responds to their emotions, which often helps with intimacy-related problems and grief. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the world and opens the possibility of reframing those stories to support new choices.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to try different methods and see what fits best for the problem at hand, goals, and personal preferences. That means sessions may shift focus over time as needs change.

Session formats and technical details should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list them explicitly. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or letting someone choose whether to appear on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, EFT, and Narrative methods to work well in remote sessions when those formats are offered, and the therapist will discuss practical options when you start the process.
