About Maggie
Maggie Lemley is a licensed counselor who brings 15 years of experience to her practice. She holds licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC. Maggie aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their concerns and begin to make changes.
She focuses on practical steps rather than only venting. Maggie helps people notice patterns, process emotions, and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her work covers common life stresses, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, mood issues such as depression and bipolar, and challenges like anxiety, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Maggie has a long track record in community mental health settings. She spent many years supporting clients with severe and persistent mental illness and held roles such as psychiatric case manager, therapist, and assessment clinician.
During graduate training she provided therapy in a correctional setting for female residents. In recent years she also worked with military service members and their families and has attended trainings on military culture. She has completed professional trainings in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy and continues yearly professional development.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-minded. She partners with people to find what helps most, tailoring work to each situation. Interested families or individuals can expect clear steps and a focus on what changes are realistic and helpful.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a structured method that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce symptoms by combining talk therapy with practical coping skills. It is often used when past events continue to affect daily life and relationships.Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It can help when intense emotions, anger, or relationship problems get in the way of daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to each person's goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. This collaborative process makes it easier to try new strategies and see what fits.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it possible to keep therapy consistent when travel or life demands change. Licensed professionals can use these options to share skills, check progress, and follow up between longer sessions.
