About Mary
Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Maggie also addresses intimacy issues, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She frames sessions around practical conversation and clear goals. That often means identifying how patterns from the family people grew up in affect current choices and feelings. Maggie uses a mix of short-term strategies and deeper exploration to help clients notice recurring dynamics and try different responses.
Her approach draws on therapies that focus on values, emotions, and personal stories. Sessions may include learning skills to manage anxiety, practicing ways to communicate more clearly, and examining beliefs people carry from childhood. She aims for direct, understandable guidance rather than technical jargon.
Maggie has worked across a range of concerns including adoption and foster care, multicultural issues, first responder stress, and gender dysphoria. She also supports people dealing with panic, mood disorders, and coping with life changes such as immigration or infidelity.
People who meet with her can expect a practical orientation: discussions about what currently causes distress, steps to test new behaviors, and reflection on past patterns that still matter today. To begin, visitors can follow the site's process to match and schedule an initial session.
How Maggie integrates approaches for remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with strong emotions to change how people relate to themselves and others. It can help with intimacy-related concerns and patterns rooted in early relationships.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Maggie will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that fit their situation. Together they decide what feels most helpful, and the plan can change as needs do.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make sessions easier to fit into a week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel for people with busy schedules. Some approaches lend themselves to conversational work over video or phone, while others benefit from slightly longer sessions to process emotion and narrative material. Ask about formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so the logistics match your needs.
