Maggie French

Maggie French is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma, and abuse. She practices in Ohio and brings four years of professional experience to sessions. Her approach centers on creating an open space where people can speak without fear of judgment. Maggie encourages small steps toward clearer goals and more manageable days.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm and to help people regain a sense of control. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build steady actions, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods shape how she works in session, keeping conversations grounded in the client’s experience.

Maggie aims for a practical style that balances listening with concrete skills. Sessions often include talking through recent problems, practicing coping strategies, and setting simple goals to try between visits. She pays attention to how relationships and past events influence current reactions.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond trauma, including abandonment worries, caregiver stress, blended family issues, communication problems, and coping with major life changes. She is licensed as an LCSW in Indiana and a LICSW in Vermont as well as holding Ohio licensure details noted above. Sessions are conducted in English.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Maggie offers steady support through the process. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the Start Therapy flow on the site to match and schedule a time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Maggie uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process the impact of past harm and reduce the ways trauma shows up in daily life. That work often focuses on building safety, managing painful memories, and practicing coping skills to feel steadier day to day.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and transitions where people want clearer direction and less struggle with uncomfortable feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The site’s Start Therapy flow will gather basic details and match you for scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. A therapist can also adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions to keep progress moving between meetings.
