Maggie Peters

Maggie Peters is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and questions about body image or self-worth. She focuses on clear, practical steps that make daily life more manageable. Her work often centers on concerns like depression, ADHD, panic, and caregiver stress. Maggie aims to build an affirming space for people to talk through their experiences. She listens without judgment and works collaboratively to set simple goals. Communication skills, self-love, and realistic coping strategies are common priorities in her sessions. Her background includes ten years of clinical experience in helping people with mood disorders and intense emotions such as anger or panic attacks. She also supports those dealing with isolation, grief over life changes, and the emotional strain that comes from caregiving responsibilities. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person in front of her. That may include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness and acceptance strategies to manage uncomfortable feelings, and emotion-focused techniques to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. Maggie works with people who identify as LGBT and with others navigating relationship or parenting stress. She encourages straightforward, practical work that fits everyday life, so people leave with things they can try between sessions.

How Maggie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Maggie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT gives practical steps for managing anxiety, panic, and mood shifts by breaking problems into small, manageable parts.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which teaches skills to notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and to commit to actions that match personal values. ACT can be useful for issues like chronic worry, body image, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maggie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which tools to try first. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps most and what feels doable in daily life.
