About Maggie

Maggie Haines is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine who focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With seven years of professional experience she offers compassionate, individualized care that centers each person’s specific situation and goals. Maggie emphasizes sensitivity and respect while helping clients navigate challenges such as parenting struggles, self-esteem issues, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored; she works with clients to shape conversations and treatment plans that reflect their values and needs. Maggie also attends to less frequently highlighted areas like compassion fatigue, chronic illness and pain, adoption and foster care matters, attachment and personality concerns, and problems with communication or control.

People seeking practical tools and supportive coaching for difficult life events are offered an empowering partnership aimed at creating more sustainable coping and clearer direction.

Approaches for ADHD, Stress, and Trauma in Online Care

Two evidence-based approaches typically used in this practice are practical skills-based work and trauma-informed psychotherapy. Skills-based work focuses on concrete strategies for managing attention, organization, emotional regulation, and stress; it can be helpful for people dealing with ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and daily functioning challenges. Trauma-informed psychotherapy attends to the effects of past harm on current relationships and wellbeing, offering pacing and supports that help process upsetting experiences while reducing reactivity.

Another common emphasis is on short-term problem solving and coping strategies that address depression, grief, and life transitions; these methods help clients identify priorities, try new behaviors, and build sustainable routines. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which approaches make the most sense given their goals, symptoms, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the communication style that fits a client’s life. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care across distance, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to access support during busy or transitional periods.
