Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson , LPC-MHSP

Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson is a Tennessee-licensed counselor who brings six years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing life transitions, mood challenges, and relationship concerns. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate LGBTQ+ related matters, process trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique circumstances and goals.

As an LPC-MHSP - a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider status - she combines practical strategies with deeper therapeutic exploration to help clients move toward greater satisfaction and emotional balance. Maggie encourages clients to recognize the courage involved in seeking change and offers steady support throughout the process. She partners with clients to identify realistic goals and to develop skills for coping, communication, and self-care that fit their daily lives.

Whether someone is confronting career stress, intimacy-related questions, sleep difficulties, or the impacts of trauma, Thompson aims to create an environment of thoughtful guidance and tailored intervention. Her practice also attends to issues such as compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care concerns, multicultural factors, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, always shaped to the needs of the individual.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Sessions

Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Narrative Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build skills to act in line with their values even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and reduce distress - it is often helpful for intimacy issues and couples work. Narrative Therapy invites clients to explore and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, supporting shifts in identity and meaning after trauma, loss, or major change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Thompson works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques over time so the therapy fits the client rather than forcing the client to fit the method.

Online therapy with Thompson is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make consistent care more accessible while allowing therapists and clients to maintain momentum between sessions and tailor communication to individual needs.
