About Madeline
Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers straightforward, practical therapy for anxiety, stress, and related concerns. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage symptoms and navigate life changes. Madeline works with adults on issues like depression, relationship and family stress, parenting challenges, grief, and substance concerns.
She also supports people dealing with identity questions, ADHD, and career strain. Her style is collaborative and client-centered.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete skills and tools that people can use between meetings. Madeline draws on cognitive behavior strategies and acceptance-based methods to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. She also uses mindfulness and emotion-regulation techniques when needed.
Before moving into primary care and virtual work, she provided mental health care in hospital settings, including maternal-child health and emergency services. That background shaped her ability to deliver short-term, focused support for people facing new medical or life stressors. Madeline has experience leading virtual groups for pandemic-related distress.
In sessions she aims to set clear, achievable goals and track progress together. Conversations are practical and paced to each person's needs. She emphasizes skills that help with sleep, eating patterns, anger, and coping with loss.
Madeline holds a Master of Social Work and practices in Florida as an LCSW. Sessions are available via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Madeline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core parts of her online work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep sessions focused on each person's goals and preferences. This means she listens, reflects, and adapts techniques to what a client finds most helpful. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth work and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share brief updates, try exercises between sessions, or get support when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity during transitions.
