About Madeline

Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered principles to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and many related concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on five years of professional practice to offer practical coping skills and collaborative goal-setting, guiding clients toward measurable changes in thinking and behavior while honoring each person’s unique experience.

Her work addresses a broad range of issues including family and parenting struggles, grief and trauma, intimacy and relationship difficulties, substance use and compulsive behaviors, and mood-related concerns such as bipolar symptoms. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, fertility and family planning stressors, and compassion fatigue.

Madeline combines acceptance-based strategies, mindfulness practices, and structured skill-building to tailor interventions to each client’s priorities. Madeline practices in Florida and provides services in English.

She offers multiple remote session formats and uses a collaborative, supportive approach intended to help clients develop tools and habits that fit their lives.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Madeline commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance techniques to help people cope with difficult emotions and build a meaningful life despite ongoing challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Madeline works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. She adapts interventions over time, combining structured skill-building with mindfulness and client-centered support so therapy aligns with what the person hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These remote formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills between meetings with different forms of feedback and check-ins.
