About Mary
Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ-related concerns. Maggie also addresses issues like depression, sleep problems, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and coping with life changes.
Her approach blends several methods to match what a person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and focus on valued action. Emotionally-Focused Therapy guides work on relational patterns and feelings tied to intimacy. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe stories that limit them, while psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques look at underlying patterns and practical steps forward.
In sessions she talks through present concerns and offers concrete strategies. That might mean learning ways to manage panic or practicing different responses to relationship stresses. She also helps people process grief, trauma, or identity-related distress at a pace they choose.
Maggie has supported people dealing with compassion fatigue, first-responder issues, immigration stress, adoption and foster care questions, and non-monogamous relationship concerns. She is mindful of multicultural and gender-related factors in therapeutic work and addresses family of origin and communication problems when they come up.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that line up with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone is questioning what matters next. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand and shift how they respond to intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues. Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their goals, current challenges, and personal preferences. Plans can change as needs become clearer during sessions. Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, and using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth options; confirm what formats are offered so sessions can fit into everyday life.Areas of expertise
