About Maggie
Maggie Shutey is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Montana with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, and stress. She also lists work around guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Maggie listens for how past events and current pressures keep a person stuck. She helps people talk through what they feel and name the patterns that make emotions louder. Sessions typically involve making specific coping strategies and small behavior changes that can be used between meetings.
She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that show up in daily life. That can look like talking through abandonment, people-pleasing, control struggles, or problems with trust. When trauma or abuse is present the work includes pacing the conversation and building skills to manage strong reactions.
Maggie also addresses concerns tied to bodies and eating, such as body image and disordered eating, and supports people carrying chronic pain or illness. She will help people sort grief, guilt, and forgiveness questions into manageable pieces and plan next steps.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical change. New clients begin by describing their concerns, filling out a brief matching questionnaire, and scheduling a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maggie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life practice. One common approach helps people learn clear coping skills for anxiety, panic, and strong emotions by practicing breath work, grounding, and short behavioral experiments. Another approach addresses trauma and attachment by pacing conversations, tracking triggers, and building step-by-step regulation skills so memories feel less overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about what feels most pressing, what has helped before, and what goals a person has. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on how the work is going and what fits the client's schedule and comfort level.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full session is not possible. It can also let people do exercises at home and report back in the next meeting, which helps translate learning into daily life.
