About Maggie
Maggie Zagorova is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, and depression. She speaks English, Bulgarian, and American Sign Language and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. Maggie aims to create straightforward therapy sessions that feel practical and respectful of each person’s situation.
Maggie uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to build flexibility and reduce getting stuck on painful thoughts. Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling and a certificate in sign language interpreting. Maggie has worked extensively with people who are deaf or hard of hearing and with parents and caregivers dealing with stress.
She brings experience with relationship difficulties, workplace concerns, and issues tied to guilt, shame, and self-worth. In sessions she emphasizes clear goals and concrete skills. People can expect practical strategies they can try between meetings, such as brief behavioral experiments, communication techniques, and mindfulness exercises.
Maggie adapts her pace to the person in front of her. She offers a mix of short-term skill-focused work and longer-term support for deeper concerns. Her approach is collaborative: she and the client decide together what to focus on and how to measure progress.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting carried away by them and focus on actions that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness Therapy brings gentle attention to the present moment and is often used to reduce reactivity and build calm responses.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, daily life, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they’ll try methods that match the person’s needs and change the plan if something isn’t working. This keeps therapy focused and useful.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist observe tone and expression, while phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules and to continue between meetings with short messages when helpful.
