Maggie Zagorova, LMHC

Maggie Zagorova is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. She speaks English, Bulgarian, and American Sign Language and brings 14 years of clinical experience to sessions. Her approach is practical and people-centered, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

Maggie uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for coping with difficult emotions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and skill-focused so clients leave with tools they can use between meetings.

Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling and experience working with people who are deaf or hard of hearing. She also has a certificate in sign language interpreting. That combination helps when communication needs or hearing differences affect relationships or daily life.

Maggie often helps people who are caregivers, those struggling with guilt or control issues, and people facing workplace or social anxiety. She also supports women’s issues, problems with impulsivity, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Therapy sessions are available in several formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It often involves short exercises and homework so clients can test new ways of responding between sessions.

Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match their values. It uses simple mindfulness and values-based exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action.

Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the client’s perspective guides the work. That approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort out choices and priorities.

Maggie treats finding the best approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
