About Maggie
Maggie Shutey is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 12 years of practice. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, or the aftermath of trauma. Maggie aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable so people can take the next small steps forward.
Her style is warm and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening day to day, finding ways to manage intense moments, and building routines that reduce stress. Maggie helps people unpack panic attacks and other sudden spikes of fear so they feel less controlling in daily life.
She also supports work on body image, eating concerns, and the emotional strain that comes with chronic pain or caregiving. Maggie pays attention to patterns like attachment wounds, control issues, and shame so clients can notice how those patterns show up now and try different responses.
Maggie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the process, tailoring steps to each person rather than following a fixed script. Therapy often includes practical skills, reflective conversation, and gradual exposure to feared situations when appropriate.
People who choose her tend to want clear, doable strategies as well as space to process difficult feelings. She focuses on helping each person build resilience and clearer sense of what they want next.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Many of Maggie's methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on change through practical steps. One common approach she uses helps people learn specific coping and grounding skills to manage anxiety and panic attacks; this involves rehearsing calmer responses to stressful moments and practicing breathing and body-awareness strategies. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic experiences by helping clients tell their story at a manageable pace and build skills to reduce reminders and distress.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Maggie works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then adapts techniques to fit those aims rather than applying a single method to everyone.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow use of tools like worksheets or recorded skill practices between meetings. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum while juggling school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
