    About Maggie

    Maggie Zagorova is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain, and family concerns. She speaks English, Bulgarian, and American Sign Language and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work in Florida.

    Maggie uses clear, practical techniques so people can make steady changes. She focuses on skills that reduce anxiety, improve communication, and address compulsive or impulsive behaviors. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with room for the client to set the pace.

    Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling from the City College of the City University of New York. She also completed a certificate in sign language interpreting at Ulster County Community College and has extensive experience supporting people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

    Over more than a decade she has worked with individuals, children, teens, and couples on a range of concerns. Her clinical work has included strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior methods, and client-centered practice to address mood, trauma-related symptoms, and substance use challenges.

    In sessions she often combines Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to help people clarify values and stay motivated for change. The focus is on small, doable steps that fit into everyday life and on improving communication and self-direction.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on gentle questions and reflection to boost motivation for things like reducing substance use or improving habits.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It pairs that awareness with chosen actions that reflect personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life purpose questions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and daily life. Clients can expect to try tools, check what helps, and adjust the plan together.

    Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because available formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow sessions during work breaks, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone use a shorter telephone check-in instead of a longer video meeting when that suits their schedule or bandwidth constraints.
