About Mary
Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, among other issues.
Maggie focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. She uses several approaches to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and make changes that fit their life. Sessions are aimed at breaking down large problems into steps that can be practiced between meetings.
Her background includes work with intimacy-related struggles, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career questions, and the strain that comes with life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue and concerns tied to adoption, foster care, immigration, and multicultural contexts.
Maggie draws on therapies that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These shape how she talks about feelings, personal stories, and the behaviors that follow.
People who bring guilt and shame into sessions can expect straightforward conversations about those feelings and their origins. The focus is on understanding how guilt or shame shows up day to day and on finding practical ways to respond differently. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and Mary Agnes does not accept international clients at this time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and for working through persistent guilt or shame. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions shape close relationships and on making emotional experiences clearer and more manageable; it can help with intimacy-related concerns and grief. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves, separates the person from the problem, and opens space to revise unhelpful narratives that fuel shame or low self-esteem.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That means clients and the therapist pick methods together rather than following a single fixed technique.
The therapist's profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that reduce the need to be on camera. These practical benefits help people maintain regular sessions around work, caregiving, or other obligations without implying a specific outcome.
