About Maggie

Maggie Peters is an Indiana-based licensed mental health counselor who works with people facing anxiety, stress, mood concerns, identity-related challenges, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

She draws on a decade of clinical experience to help clients build self-compassion, tackle social anxiety and panic, and develop practical strategies for managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, sleep troubles, and caregiver stress. Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, empathic stance that supports clients in improving communication, processing past trauma, and reducing isolation.

Maggie integrates evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance-based and emotion-focused strategies to tailor work to each person’s situation. She also addresses issues such as body image, guilt and shame, parenting strain, and finding life purpose.

Clients can expect a welcoming, affirming environment where exploration and skill-building go hand in hand. Maggie aims to help people reconnect with inner resources, craft healthier coping patterns, and move toward greater self-love and clarity amidst life changes.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Maggie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learning concrete strategies to change them, which can be helpful for anxiety, panic, sleep issues, and mood disturbances. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and committed actions, which can support people facing stress, identity concerns, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine what methods fit best. Together they will explore goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to shape a flexible plan that may combine techniques from different modalities as needed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls and phone, and can also include live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. These options make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between meetings, and maintain therapy through busy or changing routines.
