About Madeline
Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She draws on collaborative, goal-oriented methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Madeline emphasizes teamwork in therapy and aims to create a steady, supportive environment for practical problem solving.
She uses clear, hands-on strategies to build coping skills. Madeline practices cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered listening. She also incorporates techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. These approaches are used to address symptoms and to build everyday routines that make life easier.
Madeline has five years of clinical experience in both hospital and primary care settings. Early in her career she provided mental health support in maternal child health and helped women facing pregnancy and postpartum challenges. More recently she offered short-term counseling in a primary care clinic for adults navigating new medical diagnoses and chronic health issues.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic she has offered virtual support and counseling to adults, including a support group focused on pandemic-related stresses. Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as trauma, grief, intimacy and relationship issues, parenting stress, addiction-related concerns, and codependency. She blends direct skill teaching with steady listening to help clients take small, practical steps.
Madeline encourages people to start with a clear goal and build from there. She asks questions, practices problem-solving with clients, and helps identify tools that fit each person’s daily life. The focus is on doable changes rather than on perfection.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Madeline uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and to build small, testable behavior changes. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach values-based action and mindful acceptance of difficult feelings. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, codependency concerns, and managing stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then tries methods that match what the client needs. Sessions often mix talking, skills practice, and short exercises the client can try between meetings to see what helps.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work and family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow faster check-ins when life feels busy. It can also let people use shorter or longer session styles as needed, depending on what the therapist offers and what works best for daily routines.
