About Madilyne
Madilyne Harmston is a licensed independent clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful so clients can talk about hard things without feeling judged. Madilyne speaks plainly and focuses on what a person needs right now to feel steadier and more capable.
In sessions she creates a calm, open space where thoughts and feelings are heard. Conversations focus on practical steps that can reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
She uses tools that help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to see what changes feel useful. Madilyne draws from client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and shift thinking that fuels anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with grounding and staying present during stressful moments. Her work includes support around grief, parenting concerns, family problems, and the fallout from abuse or trauma. She also helps people who are wrestling with emptiness, life purpose, or midlife changes.
Coaching-style conversations are used when someone wants clearer goals and next steps. Madilyne holds an LICSW in Minnesota and has three years of professional experience. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability.
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and creating a respectful space for what matters most. In practice this means the therapist listens, asks questions, and prioritizes the concerns you name so sessions reflect your needs and pace.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and then try specific changes. Online sessions may include simple thought records, behavior experiments, or homework that you can use between meetings to see what helps.
Mindfulness therapy offers short exercises to build awareness and calm in stressful moments. These practices can be guided in a video call or sent as brief text prompts for use during the week.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that suit your situation, and adjust as you learn what works best. You and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize based on your needs, preferences, and responses over time.
Online therapy provides flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing coaching-style contact between longer sessions.
