Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson, LPC-MHSP

Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson is a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee. She brings six years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma and abuse. Maggie works with clients who are navigating LGBT concerns, intimacy and self-esteem issues, sleep problems, and major life changes.

Maggie uses straightforward conversation to figure out what matters to each person. She adapts the pace and plan to individual needs rather than prescribing a single method. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make the steps forward feel doable.

Her background includes experience across mood and anxiety concerns as well as issues tied to identity and relationships. She also supports people facing caregiver fatigue, career uncertainty, and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care. First responder stress, immigration-related concerns, and coping after disasters are also among her areas of attention.

Maggie draws on several therapeutic approaches in her work. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Emotionally-Focused Therapy to track feelings in relationships, and Narrative Therapy to reframe the stories people tell about themselves. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to understand longer patterns and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals.

She aims to make starting feel simple: the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability. Maggie wants to help people take manageable steps toward a more fulfilling life.

How Maggie Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as main tools in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and making sense of emotions in relationships and can help with intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maggie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She tailors methods as those conversations evolve so clients can try approaches that fit their situation.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose a quieter time or use a phone call when bandwidth is limited. If you want to start, complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a session to discuss which approach and format will work best.
