About Maggie
Maggie Peters is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, parenting strain, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also helps with sleep problems, anger, and navigating life changes.
Maggie focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps clients name hard emotions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside ACT, CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Sessions often include skills practice for managing panic, mood swings, and intense emotions. Conversations may cover communication habits, body image, guilt or shame, and feeling isolated. She supports people who carry caregiver stress and those trying to rebuild self-regard after trauma.
Maggie describes her work as collaborative. She and the client map out goals and try small changes between sessions. Progress is tracked in plain terms like fewer panic episodes, clearer communication, or steadier sleep rather than abstract measures.
Her background includes a decade of clinical experience with mood and anxiety challenges. She draws from multiple approaches so each session can shift between exploring feelings, building skills, and practicing new behaviors. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Indiana LMHC standards.
How Maggie integrates approaches in online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping core emotions and interaction patterns. It is often used when people want to understand attachment needs and the emotional cycles that keep recurring.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical strategies to notice difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful actions. It is useful for handling anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck while still pursuing valued goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful cycles. It commonly helps with panic, mood shifts, and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maggie will collaborate with each client to choose which methods to try first, based on current concerns, goals, and what feels workable. That decision can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is helpful. They can also let someone continue care during life transitions while tailoring techniques like emotion-focused exercises, ACT practices, or CBT skill work to the online setting.
