About Maggie
Maggie Zagorova is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addiction concerns. She speaks English, Bulgarian, and American Sign Language and brings 14 years of clinical experience to each conversation. Maggie focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions.
She listens to each person’s story and helps them notice patterns that keep problems going. Her approach blends narrative ideas with cognitive and behavioral tools so people can make real changes in daily life.
Background and approach
Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling and a certificate in sign language interpreting. She has long experience working with people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and she uses that knowledge to make communication accessible during therapy. In sessions she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques.
That mix supports managing tough feelings, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new behavior between appointments. Maggie aims to create a calm, straightforward space where goals are clear and progress is measurable. She helps people build skills for better communication, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect to what matters to them.
People start by describing whatever feels most urgent. From there, Maggie and the client set simple goals, try tools in real life, and adjust the plan as needed.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems alive and teaches concrete skills to change them. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with workplace or relationship stress.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Maggie works with each person to try techniques and see what fits. She checks in about goals and adjusts methods so therapy stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face to face when visual cues and demonstrations matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or practicing new skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while using the therapeutic tools described above.
