Maggie Shutey, LCPC

Maggie Shutey is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. She brings 12 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, eating concerns, and stress. Her work centers on practical steps people can use each day to feel steadier and more capable.

Maggie aims to help clients understand how their thoughts and everyday habits shape mood and behavior. She works with people who struggle with panic, attachment challenges, body image, chronic pain, and the fallout from past abuse. She also supports those coping with shame, guilt, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and skills that people can try between meetings. Maggie offers guidance to build resilience, develop healthier routines, and reduce the impact of overwhelming emotions. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide that work.

Her approach is straightforward and compassionate. She creates a nonjudgmental environment where people can talk through painful experiences and practice new ways of responding. Many people find this mix of understanding and practical tools helpful for steady progress.

Maggie asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. From there sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability and a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy

Many of Maggie's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice replacing them with more balanced, realistic thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes building small daily habits and coping skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and handle triggers related to trauma or grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. That shared planning helps target the most helpful strategies and adjust them over time as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to keep consistent appointments and practice new skills between meetings. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
