About Maggie

Maggie Shutey is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. She brings 12 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, eating concerns, or the aftermath of trauma. Her tone is calm and direct, aiming to make therapy feel approachable for someone worried about taking the first step.

She focuses on practical coping strategies that people can use between sessions. Maggie helps clients understand their emotional responses and develop steady routines to manage stress.

Background and approach

Conversations often include straightforward tools for panic, low mood, and body image struggles. Her work emphasizes understanding how past attachment or abandonment experiences shape present reactions. That can include sorting through guilt, shame, or impulsive behavior and learning different ways to respond.

She also supports people managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, or reactions after domestic violence. Maggie draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She aims to create a respectful space where people can name painful feelings, try new skills, and rebuild confidence at a comfortable pace.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Maggie helps clients set clear goals and tracks progress with simple, realistic steps. Her approach is steady, practical, and focused on helping people regain a sense of control and purpose.

Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility

Many of Maggie's sessions use well-established, evidence-based techniques delivered in clear, practical terms. One common approach focuses on skill-building for anxiety and mood problems - teaching breathing and grounding exercises, pacing activities, and small behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm. These skills help with panic, low mood, and daily stress.

Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and patterns that come from early relationships. That work looks at how abandonment, emptiness, or shame show up now and practices new responses to build steadier emotional connections with oneself and others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maggie will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let you have a session that feels similar to in-person meetings. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a camera-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, follow-ups, or help between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
