About Maggie
Maggie Zagorova is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and depression. Sessions are offered in English, Bulgarian, and American Sign Language.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the City College of the City University of New York. She also holds a certificate in sign language interpreting from Ulster County Community College. That training supports work with people who are hearing impaired and those who prefer ASL communication.
Maggie uses straightforward, skills-based methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices when those fit a person’s goals.
In a typical session she talks through current problems, teaches specific coping strategies, and practices new habits together. She pays attention to communication patterns, control issues, guilt and shame, and workplace or caregiver stress. Sessions often focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Maggie aims to match approach and pace to each person’s needs. She asks about life purpose, self-image, and relationship patterns to shape short-term goals. People who prefer sign language can work in ASL with her interpretation background.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions typically teach simple exercises and homework that people can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety or manage mood.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy asks people to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify what matters most. In remote sessions ACT can help with values-based goals and short behavioral experiments that fit daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, ACT, DBT skills, or mindfulness practices are most useful.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allows shorter check-ins when time is limited, and can reduce travel time. If someone prefers ASL, discuss how sessions will be arranged to support signing and interpreting needs.
