Maggie's great, she really cares about her patients and isn’t just trying to make a buck.

Maggie is very friendly, understanding and supportive! I've had a wonderful time with her and i'm grateful to have found her. As a bonus, she has fluffy puppies that you can sometimes meet during sessions and that always makes me smile! ^~^

More about Maggie

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LPCC

Thank you for visiting my profile. While in my care, you will find a nonjudgmental space to explore possibilities and solutions. Even though venting frustrations can sometimes feel relieving, that relief can be temporary if not fleeting. It is my goal and privilege to help people gain awareness, insight, and process emotions to maximize personal growth.

Let's reduce emotional suffering effectively and efficiently. I am licensed as a professional counselor in the states of TN and KY. Each year I attend numerous professional trainings and conferences so I can provide proper care for the individuals I see.

I started working in the mental health field over 16 years ago with individuals, families, and couples. Within the last 5 years, I have provided therapy for military service members and their families.

I completed professional trainings in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and attended numerous workshops on couple’s communication, alternative lifestyles and military culture. My experience in the field of psychology includes 11 years serving clients with severe and persistent mental illness. I worked in the community mental health setting as a psychiatric Case Manager, Program Assistant to an intensive outpatient team, Therapist and as an Assessment Clinician. During my graduate program, I interned at Davidson County’s Correctional Development Center, providing therapy for female inmates.

I look forward to hearing from you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have a hard time articulating how beneficial this service has been during 2020 and 6 months into 2021. Maggie is a perfect therapist fit for me & I think that match was facilitated by the initial intake questionnaire. I'm going through some hard stuff right now (like everybody else it seems... 2020-2021 is HARD). I'm happy to have BetterHelp & access to this amazing therapist. 10/10 would recommend Maggie Lemley if you like a firm, straightforward, validating experience.

Maggie has helped me through a really difficult time of self discovery. I think the process of being matched with the right therapist is really effective. I'm so grateful for this service and the perspective Maggie provides.

Maggie Lemley is amazing! Though I haven’t been talking to her for a long time, she has already given me the tools to live better and to understand the way I think. She is brilliant and insightful, and obviously draws from her impressive education and experience, yet is able to communicate in a very calming, encouraging way. Great balance between interpersonal skills and knowledge!

While I am only a few weeks into therapy I feel very confident and comfortable following Maggie’s recommendations. She is a great listener with lots of advise and seems very passionate about helping me get to where I want to be as a person.

Reviewed May 2020

Maggie has not only the innate ability to understand her patients, but the skills and knowledge to help them understand themselves. The tools she uses in her practice helped us understand one another on a level we didn't know was possible and still implement what she taught us in our day to day lives. She is an amazing therapist both for individuals and couples, I would, and have recommended her to every friend/couple I know. We looked forward to all of our sessions so much that if we had not switched jobs we would have continued going to her indefinitely, but either way she saved our relationship and we are eternally greatful!

Maggie is so sweet, understanding, and patient with me. I have a tendency to zone out for days or weeks at a time, so I can imagine how frustrating it is to try to check in on me! But she always does. And always with a kind word. I couldn't recommend her more!

Maggie Lemley is incredible. She is compassionate, understanding, intelligent, and sensible. Her writing skills are top-notch, too. I don't have any trouble in understanding what she sets out to convey. I love her energy. She has helped me so much---restored my faith in humanity and given me useful tools to help me better myself. I'll be forever grateful.

Maggie continues to be an amazing counsellor who supports me effectively. She keeps me on track with my therapeutic goals but also allows room for adjustments when events arise. The progress I’ve seen in myself since working with Maggie is really impressive, I feel more calm and less anxious. I truly feel like I’m healing my past traumas and growing as a person.

Reviewed November 2019

I absolutely loved my sessions with Maggie. She is kind, sweet and funny - it really made me feel at ease and able to disclose what I needed to with her. I never felt judged or like I was being evaluated; she was just there to listen. Sometimes, even her kind and sympathetic gaze was enough to cause me to be emotional - I think that's amazing! You really could feel her empathy even though we lived in completely different countries and time zones. Along with her kindness and easy-going nature, she also provided amazing tools and exercises that I still utilize even though my sessions are over. I've had counseling with other mental health practitioners before, but this was the first time I actually looked forward to doing it. Don't get me wrong, therapy can be emotionally exhausting but I always felt a bit lighter and more confident in myself when we finished. She was also very prompt when returning messages, which I vastly appreciated. Basically, I considered Maggie like a good friend who made you feel comfortable and let you vent your problems. Thank you so much for everything Maggie! You're the best :)

Maggie is a wonderful person and counselor. She listens to me and responds in a compassionate, professional way. I feel like Maggie understands me and actually knows me better than anyone else does. We have made excellent progress and my life is truly enriched and blessed for having her in it. She is a very impressive person and I'm most grateful. Hats off to BetterHelp also for pairing us up in the first place. She's the first counselor BetterHelp started me out with and I'm still with her. Thank you very much.

I have a great connection with Maggie. She is aware of my needs and goals and helps me to meet those goals. Maggie is gifted at drawing out the underlying issues and emotions that can sometimes be overlooked on my part. She works best in video sessions. She will respond to messaging but is not one to initiate it.

Reviewed July 2019

I’ve been working with Maggie for a couple of months now. The entire time has been very helpful. We’ve been dealing with a lot of issues related to past trauma, anxiety, and current relationships. Maggie is available in a variety of mediums and in a timely matter. I’m always able to find a live session time that works for me easily and Maggie gives her undivided attention during those times. I feel genuinely cared for by Maggie, in a professional way. Her knowledge in the field is extensive and she seems to always know what to say to make me feel a bit more “normal”. I never feel overloaded with forms to fill out or homework to do, and the ones I am given are actually useful, both in the moment and in future sessions. I’m very pleased with the progress we’re making together and look forward to making more.
