Maggie Shutey , LCPC

Maggie Shutey is a licensed therapist based in Montana who brings a compassionate, evidence-informed approach to helping people navigate complex emotional challenges. As an LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she focuses on supporting individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and difficult life transitions. Her work emphasizes building resilience, fostering self-compassion, and helping clients move toward meaningful personal growth.

Maggie provides guidance for those coping with mood disorders, attachment struggles, panic symptoms, and post-traumatic stress, as well as related concerns such as body image, grief, and chronic pain. She creates a non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their inner experiences, learn practical coping strategies, and reconnect with their strengths.

Using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Maggie aims to empower people to understand their patterns, improve relationships, and recover a sense of agency after painful or disorienting experiences. She offers steady, professional support as clients work through emotional wounds and develop new ways of managing stress and moving forward in their lives.

Evidence-Informed Methods and Online Care Options

In her work, Maggie emphasizes practical, evidence-informed approaches tailored to trauma and mood concerns. Trauma-focused interventions help people process and reduce the ongoing impact of distressing events by gently exploring memories and responses and building safer ways to cope, which can be useful for those recovering from abuse or significant losses.

Attachment-informed therapy examines patterns in relationships and emotional bonds, helping individuals understand how early connections influence current reactions and supporting healthier ways of relating. Skills-based approaches for anxiety and depression focus on teaching concrete tools for managing intense emotions, reducing avoidance, and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Maggie works with each person to identify the techniques that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, manage energy levels, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide consistent, focused work toward recovery and growth.
