About Maggie
Maggie French is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma, and major life changes. She brings four years of clinical experience and a calm, supportive approach to each session. Maggie practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English.
She keeps the room simple and direct. Maggie aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can say what they’re thinking and feeling. Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings, and on building skills that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Her work blends several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice feelings without getting stuck, and commit to actions that match their values.
Maggie also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She adapts what she offers to the concern at hand, such as coping with trauma, addiction, or family stress. People who meet with Maggie often start by naming one concrete problem to work on.
From there she helps set small goals and teaches skills for managing intense moments. Her style is steady and practical, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and move toward a more manageable life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and difficulties that follow big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, addictive urges, and problem-solving during stressful times.Maggie will work with each person to find the right mix of techniques. Early sessions focus on goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. Finding the best fit is a collaborative process shaped by what the client wants to address and how they prefer to work.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without traveling, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit quick updates, brief coping support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
