About Mackenzie
Mackenzie Pfeiffer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 13 years of clinical experience. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and complementary approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges to self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her background includes a long-standing focus on substance use prevention and addiction work that spans more than two decades, and she also addresses issues related to aging, caregiver stress, isolation, and other life changes. She aims to create an open therapeutic space where clients can share thoughts and emotions without judgment and take practical steps toward healthier coping.
Mackenzie uses evidence-informed tools - such as mindfulness techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods - to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. She recognizes the courage it takes to pursue change and offers collaborative support throughout the process.
Practicing in Michigan, Mackenzie provides services in English and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules. Her approach emphasizes clear goals, practical skills, and steady progress toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy
In remote sessions Mackenzie often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and improve emotional regulation, which can support coping with grief, isolation, and addiction-related urges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts strategies over time based on what proves most helpful. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to individual needs rather than relying on a single method.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and they allow the same practical interventions used in person to be delivered remotely.
