About Madelaine
Madelaine uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people make small, steady changes. She often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and from Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, achievable goals. Trauma-Informed Care guides how she attends to safety and pacing during difficult material.
In sessions she aims to create a warm, respectful space where clients feel listened to and understood. Conversations typically focus on what is happening now, steps that can help, and small experiments to try between meetings. She emphasizes collaboration and practical tools over long lectures or complex jargon.
Her background as an LCSW in California includes seven years of clinical experience working with people facing panic, attachment concerns, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or guilt. Madelaine also supports those coping with post-traumatic stress and social anxiety.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people connect from different locations while still working through stress, relationships, and women's health concerns with a licensed professional.
