Maggie French, LCSW, LICSW

Maggie French is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, LICSW) practicing in Ohio with four years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people who are managing stress and anxiety, navigating addictions, resolving family conflicts, and healing from trauma and abuse. She also works with clients facing major life transitions and the practical challenges those changes bring.

Maggie emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. She partners with clients to explore coping strategies, identify priorities, and build skills that fit each person’s circumstances. Her approach centers on listening carefully and tailoring support so clients can move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, and Maggie recognizes that courage is required to begin. She offers steady professional support throughout that process, helping clients set realistic goals, try new ways of responding to difficulty, and track progress over time. The result is practical, compassionate care aimed at meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences derail meaningful action. It emphasizes values-based choices and practical steps to live in ways that matter, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and adjustment challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns influence current behavior and emotional responses. This approach can help clients address family conflicts, relationship difficulties, and long-standing attachment concerns by building awareness and new relational skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments and skill-building. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and developing concrete coping strategies.

Maggie approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process. She works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts techniques so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for busy lives and varied comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that works best for each person.
