About Maggie
Maggie French is a licensed clinical social worker in Ohio with four years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, family conflict, and major life changes. She creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about what they’re feeling. Maggie encourages small, practical steps toward feeling steadier and more in control.
Her approach is straightforward and warm. She listens first and then works with each person to build goals that make sense for their life. Sessions focus on real problems and everyday solutions rather than jargon or long lists of techniques.
Maggie draws on several proven approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and clarify what matters most to them.
She pays close attention to relationships and attachment patterns when past hurts affect current life. This can include practical communication strategies and ways to set boundaries that protect emotional wellbeing.
Maggie also supports people facing disruption from disasters and sudden change, helping them regain routine and manage overwhelming emotions. To start, prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on her availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How these approaches can fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and change routine patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people find their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maggie will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and shifting course when something doesn’t fit.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. They can also help people who need quieter surroundings, less video time, or a way to stay consistent after a disruptive event. Licensed professionals often adapt these approaches for remote work so teaching skills, tracking small homework tasks, and reviewing progress still happen even when sessions are not in person.
