About Maghan

Maghan Eversmith is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. She writes plainly and listens carefully so parents and caregivers feel heard. Sessions are aimed at clear, practical steps you can try between meetings.

Maghan uses simple language and works to make ideas easy to use at home and with children. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice thoughts that affect feelings and actions.

Background and approach

She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Narrative Therapy is used to help people tell and reshape their personal stories when that feels useful. Maghan has six years of professional experience in mental health and additional background in volunteer roles.

Her work has included helping individuals across the lifespan and supporting families connected to foster care in Nashville, Tennessee. She earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills for anxiety, stress, attention and impulse control, parenting struggles, relationship issues, grief, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions. She also addresses adoption and foster care topics, communication problems, and women’s issues when relevant. The goal is to find tools that fit each family’s daily life and routines.

Her approach combines clear techniques with support. Parents can expect guidance on setting goals, building routines, and improving communication. Maghan aims to walk alongside families as they practice new skills and notice gradual change.

How Maghan Uses Talk Therapy Online

Maghan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes to shift feelings and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance that lets families and individuals set the pace and direction for their work.

She also draws from Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness practices that reduce stress and help with impulse control. These approaches are described plainly in sessions and turned into doable steps you can try between meetings. Finding the best approach is part of the work: she listens to your concerns, discusses options, and collaborates on a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions give easy access when screens are inconvenient, and live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing coaching. These formats help families juggle appointments around school, work, and caregiving duties while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
