About Mary
LPC-MHSP in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience, Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and LGBT concerns using several therapeutic approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions.
Maggie prefers clear conversation about what is happening now and what a person wants to change. She works in straightforward ways that match the issue - for example focusing on values and actions with ACT, or on how emotions shape relationships with EFT. Sessions are meant to identify patterns, try practical steps, and adjust what isn’t working.
Her background includes six years of professional practice in Tennessee as an LPC-MHSP. That experience includes helping people cope with grief and loss, recover from trauma and abuse, manage panic and mood concerns, and address intimacy-related problems. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Maggie attends to cultural and life context when she plans treatment. She lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, immigration challenges, gender dysphoria, first responder issues, and non-monogamous relationship concerns. These areas inform the way she frames goals and exercises in sessions.
To begin, she asks about current concerns and what a person hopes to change. From there she designs a plan that may combine short-term solution-focused work with deeper narrative or psychodynamic exploration. Sessions use practical steps and regular check-ins to measure progress.

How ACT, EFT and Narrative work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, concrete actions toward them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where a person wants to act differently despite difficult thoughts or feelings.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape close relationships and communication. It helps people notice emotional patterns and practice new responses to improve intimacy and connection.
Narrative Therapy separates people from their problems by examining the stories they tell about themselves. It can help reframe identity-linked issues like shame, grief, or cultural stressors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals, needs, and personal preferences. That may mean brief solution-focused work first, then moving into ACT or narrative work if helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework to work across remote appointments and in-person visits when offered.
