About Maggie
Maggie Peters is an Indiana licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, parenting stress, and questions about life purpose.
She works with LGBTQ+ people and others facing social anxiety, isolation, and trauma. Sessions often involve talking through communication problems, managing anger, and coping with mood disorders such as bipolar and panic attacks. Maggie also addresses body image, caregiver stress, guilt, shame, and building self-love.
Maggie blends practical skills with reflective conversation. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice what matters and change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas for emotion regulation and relationship moments.
In a session she might practice grounding or breathing to reduce panic, map out unhelpful thoughts, or role-play conversations to improve communication. The work is collaborative - the person and therapist decide which exercises fit current needs. Sessions can also focus on figuring out what matters next when a major life change leaves someone unsure of direction.
Her approach aims to give clear, usable steps alongside deeper reflection. People leave with strategies to manage day-to-day stress and a clearer sense of priorities for what to try next.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what truly matters and take action toward those values. In practice this can mean exercises to clarify priorities and small behavioral experiments to test what feels meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic to build coping skills and reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interactions during heated moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maggie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and situation. She adapts exercises and homework to what a client prefers and what helps in day-to-day life, rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins between appointments when useful. Phone or video sessions can also be chosen for lower bandwidth or a shorter, focused meeting depending on what the person needs.
