About Eileen

Eileen Madden is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and a wide range of related issues.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, she draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients identify patterns, build skills, and reconnect with sources of resilience and meaning.

Her work emphasizes compassion for difficult feelings and the idea that emotions are not the essence of a person but signals that can be met with curiosity and care. Somatic practices and attention to physical wellness are woven into her approach as ways to support emotional regulation and present-moment enjoyment.

She has experience across the lifespan, from very young children to older adults, and has worked in outpatient, partial hospitalization, and in-home settings with a focus on children and families earlier in her career. Eileen completed undergraduate and master’s studies at Boston College and integrates a holistic view of wellbeing that includes movement, nutrition, and spiritual connection.

She offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Approaches that guide online work and practical access

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors; it often focuses on skills to reduce anxiety, mood symptoms, and unhelpful coping habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life, which can help with avoidance, grief, and chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early relational experiences shape current connections and emotional responses, useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Eileen approaches selection of methods collaboratively, recognizing that the right approach often emerges over time. She works with clients to match techniques to goals, preferences, and changing needs, blending elements from different models when that best supports progress and comfort.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and people in different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from New Jersey or abroad while working with licensed professionals who use approaches like CBT and ACT to address real-life challenges.
