About Mary
Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson uses a blend of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. Maggie writes treatment plans to match each person's situation and goals.
Maggie has six years of clinical experience working with people facing life changes and emotional pain. She helps clients with LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with self-esteem or sleep. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, first responder issues, and the effects of domestic violence or adoption and foster care histories.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take small, meaningful actions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and process strong emotions in close relationships. Narrative Therapy helps clients reframe stories that keep them stuck, and psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns that repeat in life.
Maggie aims for practical, clear sessions where people learn tools they can use between meetings. She focuses on small changes that add up over time. Her style is respectful and direct, with an emphasis on collaboration.
If coping after a disaster is part of someone's struggle, she includes that concern alongside grief, trauma, and stress work. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire so sessions can be aligned with what matters most to them.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take small, value-driven steps. Online sessions can focus on identifying values, practicing short behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on naming and processing strong feelings within relationships, and online sessions can guide people through emotional awareness and new ways of connecting with others. Narrative Therapy helps people rewrite limiting stories about themselves, and remote sessions can use storytelling exercises and written reflections to shift perspective.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaboration helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
