About Maggie

Maggie French is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and a VT LICSW with four years of clinical experience, practicing in Ohio. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Her practice focuses on helping people manage difficult feelings and everyday pressures.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people name what feels hard and decide what to try next. Sessions are conversational and aim to make space for thoughts and feelings without judgment. Maggie draws on well-known therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches to guide work together.

Maggie pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape how people cope today. She helps people notice patterns, practice new skills, and test small changes between sessions. Practical tools for managing anxiety and habits are paired with chances to reflect on what matters most.

Her approach also includes techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to support emotion regulation and clearer communication. Over time the focus is on concrete strategies that fit daily life, such as coping steps for stressful moments and ways to address relationship problems.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Payment varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety and decisions during big life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new responses to reduce distress and change behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of connecting and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust those methods as needed based on how things go.

Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also make it possible to practice skills in real life between meetings and to bring real-world situations into discussion without promising a particular service model.
