About Madeline

Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who blends collaborative, goal-focused psychotherapy with evidence-based techniques to help clients manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, she draws on structured methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach practical coping skills and support emotional regulation. Her practice emphasizes a client-centered stance that values partnership and individualized treatment planning.

Madeline has worked across hospital and primary care settings where she provided short-term counseling and support to adults and families facing medical, perinatal, and life-transition challenges. That background informs a flexible approach to concerns such as relationship and family problems, grief, trauma, addictions, and career or parenting stress.

Madeline aims to help clients identify meaningful goals, build useful habits, and develop resilience through targeted interventions. She offers therapy in English and provides several online session formats in Florida, using subscription-based scheduling that can be adjusted according to availability.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, helping people build a life consistent with what matters to them even when symptoms persist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which is useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each client to identify which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt techniques and pace so treatment stays practical and meaningful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access regular support from home or on the go. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver the same skill-building strategies and coping tools used in face-to-face care while accommodating varied lifestyles and time constraints.
