Maggie Lemley, LPC, LPCC

Maggie Lemley is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, licensed in Tennessee and Kentucky with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. Sessions focus on building awareness and processing emotions to reduce ongoing distress rather than offering quick fixes.

Maggie began in the mental health field more than 15 years ago. Her early roles included case management and work in community mental health settings. That background included work with people experiencing severe and persistent mental illness and roles on intensive outpatient teams.

She has provided therapy for military service members and their families in recent years, and has experience offering therapy in correctional settings during graduate training. Those roles shaped her practical approach to common life stresses and relationship strain.

Her stated training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with workshops on couple communication, alternative lifestyles, and military culture. Maggie keeps current through professional conferences and trainings each year.

In sessions she prioritizes gaining insight, naming emotions, and learning skills that help prevent relief from being only temporary. People typically work on recognizing patterns, practicing new responses, and finding ways to manage anger and stress so reactions feel more under control.
