About Maggie
Maggie Peters is an LMHC licensed in Indiana with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, social anxiety and phobia, and related concerns such as depression and self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship strain, caregiver stress, sleep problems, and life changes.
Maggie works in a straightforward, person-centered way. She listens first and helps people talk through what feels most urgent. Sessions often include practical skills for managing panic, reducing isolation, and improving communication with others.
Her background combines several approaches that aim to make thoughts and feelings easier to live with. Maggie uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotion regulation and relationship patterns are central concerns.
Maggie has particular experience with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and caregiver stress, and she helps people dealing with guilt, shame, body image, and loneliness. She also supports LGBTQ people who are navigating identity-related stressors and life transitions.
In a session she focuses on clear goals and simple exercises you can use between meetings. The work often involves short experiments, communication practice, and learning manageable ways to cope with panic or overwhelming feelings.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maggie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. ACT focuses on values-based actions so people can keep moving toward what matters even when anxiety is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and build small behavioral changes that reduce panic and avoidance. These techniques are useful for social anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maggie will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That decision is practical and revisited over time so sessions stay relevant to current problems like communication difficulties or caregiver stress.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice exposure or communication exercises in real-life settings and bring what happens between sessions into the conversation.
