About Madeleine
Madeleine McConnell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses a warm, strength-based style to help people manage stress and anxiety and tackle life changes. Her approach is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping clients find what works for them.
She brings 12 years of experience working with people facing trauma, grief, depression, bipolar concerns, and addiction. Madeleine also helps those coping with chronic pain or illness, workplace stress, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She offers coaching-style support for career decisions and personal development as well. In sessions she centers the person rather than the problem. Madeleine listens, highlights strengths, and helps set clear, achievable goals.
She combines client-centered conversation with practical strategies so people can try new ways of responding between sessions. Madeleine uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, with clients who are processing traumatic memories or post-traumatic stress. She explains each step and moves at a pace chosen by the client.
She works with clients on anxiety, panic, sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and social anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Madeleine aims to partner with each person to make steady, manageable progress toward the life they want.
Client-centered care and EMDR through online sessions
Madeleine uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping each person identify their own goals. It is often used for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, which is a step-by-step method for processing distressing memories and trauma. EMDR is used with people who want to reduce the intense emotional reactions tied to past events and to feel more stable in day-to-day life.
Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Madeleine will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try and how quickly to move. This lets the plan match the person's needs and comfort level.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to touch base or follow up between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from different locations.
