About Maggie

Maggie French is a licensed clinical social worker in Ohio with four years of practice. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, family conflict, trauma, abuse, and major life changes. She aims to make the first step toward seeking support easier and less intimidating.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and painful experiences. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, improving communication, and building practical coping steps that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Maggie listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. Maggie draws on several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to guide the work.

Her background includes helping people facing abandonment issues, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, codependency, domestic violence, and the fallout of separation or divorce. She also has experience with aging concerns, antisocial and avoidant personality patterns, and disruptive mood issues in daily life. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Maggie describes therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set realistic goals and try small, concrete changes that add up over time.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the patterns that shape emotional responses in relationships and with oneself. Online sessions can help people identify recurring emotional cycles and practice new ways of connecting with their feelings and needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and to take actions aligned with their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes while learning small daily practices to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and trust. In online sessions this can mean tracking patterns in how someone seeks support and trying new, gentler ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works together with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current worries. That collaboration may mean combining ideas from EFT, ACT, and client-centered work so sessions fit the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, timely support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping the focus on steady progress.
