About Mary
Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. Her practice focuses on helping clients notice what matters to them and take small, practical steps forward.
Maggie uses several therapeutic approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, focusing on emotions and connection. Narrative therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and test new, more helpful narratives.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Maggie often combines short-term solution-focused techniques with deeper psychodynamic reflections when useful. That can mean setting a clear, immediate goal one week and looking at long-standing patterns the next. The result is a mix of skills practice, direct talk, and reflective questions.
She also addresses sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and panic symptoms. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, immigration issues, domestic violence, and multicultural concerns. Clients can expect straightforward language and practical strategies they can use between sessions.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The practice uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions, with cost varying by location.
Approach, fit, and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values, even when anxiety or difficult thoughts are present. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships, which can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns. Narrative Therapy invites people to look at the stories they tell about themselves and to test alternative, more helpful interpretations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maggie will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on goals, needs, and preferences. That means the plan can change as progress is made and as new issues come up.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to focused skill practice over a video or phone check-in, while others are useful for longer reflective sessions; Maggie will discuss which format suits current goals when arranging the first appointment.
