About Mary

Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical, goal-oriented methods to help people feel clearer about their emotions and relationships. As an LPC-MHSP licensed in Tennessee, she brings six years of clinical experience to her work. Maggie writes plainly and listens closely to each person's story.

She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and sleep problems. She also supports folks facing trauma and abuse, questions about gender and LGBT concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and life purpose.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what each person needs in the moment. Maggie blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to notice what matters to someone and Solution-Focused ideas to set concrete next steps. Narrative Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas are used when a person's past patterns are getting in the way of present goals.

This mix aims to make emotions easier to understand and act on. Conversations are practical and compassionate. Maggie pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and in relationships, and she helps people practice ways to respond differently.

She also works with issues such as compassion fatigue, first responder concerns, immigration-related stress, and relationship challenges like infidelity or non-monogamous dynamics. People meet with Maggie through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on availability.

Online support

Emotion work and practical therapy online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions so they feel more connected to what matters and can respond differently in stressful moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories to open up new possibilities.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life, and will adjust the plan as needed. This is a team effort where the person's preferences and goals guide the path forward.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth is needed or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let someone check in between sessions or communicate when typing feels easier. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
