Maggie French, LCSW, LICSW

Maggie French is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Ohio. She has four years of experience helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma, and major life changes. Maggie aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

She keeps sessions direct and easy to follow. People can expect a calm space to talk through difficult feelings and practical ways to respond to day-to-day problems. Maggie focuses on listening first and then matching tools to each person's needs.

Maggie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-focused ideas among other approaches. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, connect actions to personal values, and look at relationship patterns that affect mood and coping.

Her style blends skill teaching with a warm, nonjudgmental stance. Sessions often include practice tasks to try between meetings so progress continues outside of session time. She works with people at different stages of change and adapts pace to what feels manageable.

Maggie is licensed in Ohio as an LCSW and holds a LICSW credential in Vermont. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to fit the person's needs.

How Maggie’s approaches translate to online work

CBT helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or stress. Online sessions can walk through specific exercises, role plays, and homework assignments that build new habits over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. In remote sessions this can include values exercises, mindfulness practices, and planning small steps that fit daily life.

Attachment-based ideas look at how relationships shape emotional responses and coping. Online conversations can map relationship patterns and try new ways of communicating or setting boundaries between sessions.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match each person's needs. If something does not fit, adjustments are made so work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day or to keep a written record of insights and homework. These options help people access care around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
