Professional statement

Maggie Olivieri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Evanston, Illinois who works with adults seeking meaningful emotional support and lasting change. She works with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional challenges and life transitions—whether adjusting to a new city, coping with job loss, moving through a breakup or divorce, struggling with impulsive behaviors, or longing for deeper connection with friends, family, or partners.

Maggie supports clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, self‑doubt, loneliness, fear of abandonment, anger, hopelessness, or grief, helping them understand what’s getting in the way of feeling grounded, connected, and more at ease in their lives.

She provides Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, a therapeutic approach that helps clients explore the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so they can make intentional, meaningful changes. Maggie is especially attuned to the impact of trauma and works collaboratively with clients to understand how past pain may be informing and shaping present struggles. Together, she helps clients reframe their life stories in ways that foster clarity, compassion, and self‑confidence.

Maggie’s style is interactive, warm, and non‑judgmental, always honoring clients as the experts of their own experiences. Her first priority with every new client is creating a space where they feel safe, understood, and genuinely partnered in the therapeutic process. She offers flexible scheduling and remote sessions to ensure therapy is accessible and supportive of each client’s needs.


Message to clients

My hope is that when you come to therapy with me, you feel free to show up exactly as you are. I want you to know that working with me is a space where your inner thoughts, feelings, and questions are welcome—especially the ones you’ve learned to silence, push aside or ignore. I offer a steady, compassionate presence so you can explore what’s happening inside you without fear of judgment or pressure to be anything other than yourself. Your wellbeing matters to me, and I take seriously the trust it takes to explore and share your inner world with someone new.

I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy every moment for it to be meaningful. Humor, when it naturally shows up, can be a powerful way to breathe, connect, and make room for relief. I welcome the full range of your emotional experience—your sadness, your frustration, your confusion, your hope, and your laughter. All of it belongs here.

Flexibility is an important part of how I work. People’s lives are complex, and healing doesn’t follow a straight line. I adapt to your pace, your needs, and your goals, and I see our work as a collaboration rather than a rigid process. My intention is to create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and genuinely accompanied as you move toward experiencing greater clarity, connection, and self‑understanding.
