About Madeline
Madeline Claude brings six years of clinical social work experience to her practice in Utah.
Background and approach
She frames therapy around collaboration and practical skill building, using evidence-informed methods to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, OCD, perinatal mood challenges, relationship strain, and eating and food-related issues. As an LCSW she emphasizes a warm, structured environment where clients learn clear strategies to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of control.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance-oriented and client-centered methods, along with tools from dialectical behavior and solution-focused therapies. Sessions aim to uncover patterns that maintain distress, then introduce targeted techniques for coping, emotion regulation, and behavioral change.
This mix allows work on symptoms as well as the underlying beliefs and habits that sustain them. Madeline prioritizes empathy and flexibility while keeping sessions organized and goal-directed.
She supports people navigating life transitions, grief, mood fluctuations, and challenges around identity and relationships, helping them develop skills for stronger communication, improved self-esteem, and steadier daily functioning. Prospective clients in Utah may explore whether her style and methods feel like the right match for their needs.
Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Support
Madeline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action to increase psychological flexibility and purpose. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that centers each person’s experience.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges with each client and adapts techniques so the work feels relevant and manageable rather than prescriptive. That collaborative planning helps determine whether more structured CBT strategies, acceptance-oriented ACT exercises, or a blend of methods will best support progress.
Online therapy with Madeline is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can work with clients remotely to build practical tools, improve coping, and pursue meaningful goals.
