About Maggie

Maggie French is a licensed social worker in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma, and abuse. She presents a calm, nonjudgmental presence and invites people to talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Maggie frames therapy as a step toward a more fulfilling and happier life and offers steady support through that process.

In sessions she focuses on creating an open space where people can share what matters to them. She uses practical tools from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build coping skills. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ways of working to strengthen relationships and emotional awareness.

Maggie aims to help people manage everyday stress and the fallout from big life changes. That can mean learning new ways to handle cravings, reduce anxiety, or repair communication with people who matter to you. She adapts her style so conversations feel direct but compassionate, with clear steps to practice between sessions.

Her background includes four years of professional experience in clinical settings. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials. Those letters indicate licensed clinical social worker status in Ohio and Vermont respectively.

People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward, practical guidance and steady encouragement. She emphasizes small, manageable steps and works collaboratively to set goals and track progress.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and managing urges related to addictions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. It is practical and skills-based for everyday problems.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Over a few sessions she will suggest methods to try and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helps them read nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills between meetings and apply strategies to daily routines.
