About Eileen

Eileen Madden is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey who helps people reclaim a kinder relationship with themselves and their lives. She frames difficult emotions as protective signals rather than fixed reflections of worth, encouraging clients to meet those feelings with compassion and curiosity.

Background and approach

By combining acceptance with practical somatic practices, she guides clients toward greater ease in the body and moments of present-moment joy. With 13 years of clinical experience, Eileen has worked across outpatient, partial hospitalization, and in-home settings.

Her background includes work with children through older adults, and she emphasizes the connection between physical health and mental well-being. Her training and experience inform a therapeutic stance that blends acceptance, skills-based work, and relational repair so clients can reignite strengths that already exist within them.

Outside of clinical work she values movement and wholesome eating, and draws energy from teaching boxing and running. Time spent studying abroad in Ecuador and service work in places such as El Salvador reflect a longstanding interest in diverse perspectives and community care.

Eileen practices from a spiritually grounded viewpoint that honors connection and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care



Eileen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by shifting focus from symptom control to meaningful living. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing mood, behavior, and day-to-day functioning; CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy stays practical and relevant to the client’s life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or travel and allow continuity of care for clients living in New Jersey or internationally. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT for remote work so skills practice and interpersonal connection continue even when meeting virtually.
