Maggie French, LCSW, LICSW

Maggie French is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Ohio. She has four years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel less overwhelming and more doable.

In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations focus on what feels difficult now and what the client wants to move toward. Maggie listens closely and works with each person to set clear, practical goals that match their life and values.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods. She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify personal values and committed action. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered techniques guide how she builds trust and keeps the work focused on the client.

Maggie uses straightforward tools and short exercises in session so people can practice between meetings. She emphasizes skills that help with emotion regulation, communication, and coping during transitions. The goal is steady, manageable progress rather than overnight change.

People who are worried about stress, addiction, or a major life shift will find focused support and practical steps. Maggie encourages anyone ready to begin to select the Start Therapy button and complete the short questionnaire to match and schedule sessions.

How Maggie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them, then focuses on small actions that line up with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses, which can be useful for resolving family conflict and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan based on what works for the client’s situation and rhythm of life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is helpful, and it removes travel time so people can spend appointment time on therapy tasks. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill practice, communication work, and coping strategies through remote appointments, helping clients apply new skills between meetings.
