About Maggie
Maggie Zagorova is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) whose practice centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and addictions.
Background and approach
She brings 14 years of clinical experience and combines practical therapeutic tools with a compassionate, person-focused stance to help clients address daily struggles and build clearer coping strategies. Her clinical background includes training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a range of complementary approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness-based work, and client-centered methods.
Maggie also completed a certificate in sign language interpreting, and she uses that knowledge to improve access and communication for clients who are deaf or hard of hearing. Her education includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling from City College of the City University of New York.
In practice she integrates evidence-informed techniques to target specific symptoms while honoring each person’s values and goals. Maggie offers flexible online formats and aims to collaborate with clients to develop realistic skills for emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and lasting behavior change.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to reduce anxiety, depressive patterns, and problematic coping strategies by teaching concrete skills and behavioral experiments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action, which can help with stress, avoidance, and life direction concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic therapeutic relationship that supports clients in exploring feelings and developing greater self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and then combine techniques from these models to create a practical plan that feels manageable and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy with Maggie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase scheduling flexibility and reduce travel time. These formats allow for consistent skill practice between sessions and accommodate different communication needs, including use of American Sign Language for clients who prefer it.
