Maggie May, LCSW
Hello and welcome! I’m Maggie, and I’m glad you’re here.
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Louisiana State University in 2020 and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. For the past several years, I’ve worked in hospice, supporting individuals and families as they navigate serious illness, end-of-life care, grief, and major life transitions.
My work has reinforced something I believe deeply: life doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and sometimes figuring out the next step can feel overwhelming. I believe therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Maggie’s Training and Clinical Qualifications
I work with adults age 18 and older and enjoy working with a wide range of concerns and experiences. My areas of clinical interest include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, stress and burnout, self-esteem and self-confidence, caregiver stress, and adjustment to significant changes in life.
I’m particularly drawn to working with adults who may be navigating a difficult transition, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, struggling with anxiety or depression, or feeling disconnected from the person they want to be. My experience in hospice has given me extensive experience supporting individuals and families through grief, uncertainty, difficult emotions, caregiver stress, family dynamics, and significant change.
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, working through grief, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or simply trying to understand yourself a little better, you’re welcome here.
Maggie’s Approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative, person-centered, and incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we can identify patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, explore how those patterns may be affecting your life, and identify goals that feel meaningful to you. From there, we can work toward developing practical tools and healthier ways of responding to the challenges you are facing.
I believe therapy should be about more than simply identifying what is wrong. I want to help clients better understand themselves, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, build confidence in their ability to cope, and make changes that feel authentic and sustainable.
How can you expect me to be?
You can expect me to be warm, genuine, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest about what is really going on—even when it’s messy, complicated, or doesn’t make perfect sense.
I believe you are the expert on your own life, while I bring clinical knowledge, perspective, and practical tools to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing. I also believe there should be room for humor in therapy.
Most importantly, I want you to feel welcomed exactly as you are. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. My hope is that therapy can be a place where you feel supported as you figure out what comes next.
