About Maggie
Maggie Lemley is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices from Kentucky. Maggie aims to offer a caring, nonjudgmental space where people can talk and start making changes.
She focuses on practical steps to reduce emotional suffering. Sessions emphasize awareness, processing feelings, and finding workable solutions rather than only venting. Maggie also brings experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity.
How Maggie works
Her background includes long-term work in community mental health settings. For many years she served people with severe and persistent mental illness and worked in roles such as psychiatric case manager, therapist, and assessment clinician. Her training also included time providing therapy in a correctional setting during graduate school.
Recent work has included service to military service members. Maggie has completed professional trainings in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy and has attended workshops on couples communication and military culture. Her approach is direct and goal-oriented while remaining empathetic.
She combines experience with practical techniques to help people manage symptoms like anger, sleep and eating disturbances, parenting stress, low self esteem, ADHD challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and career transitions.

Online support options
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many of the methods Maggie uses are evidence-based and focused on skills and emotion work. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy combines talking about traumatic memories with coping skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy centers on teaching specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Together they adjust pacing, skill emphasis, and homework so the plan stays relevant to the individual's needs.
Online formats offer practical benefits for people juggling busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that helps, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and flexible scheduling easier, and all formats let people keep therapy consistent when travel or relocation would otherwise interrupt care.
