About Madeline
Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, codependency, grief, addiction issues, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English.
Madeline uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage symptoms and build skills. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to break unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and client-centered techniques to strengthen emotion regulation and communication.
Her background includes hospital-based mental health work in New York City, where she provided support to pregnant and postpartum people, families with infants in neonatal care, and patients in pediatrics and emergency settings. She later provided short-term counseling in a primary care clinic, working with adults adjusting to chronic medical conditions and new diagnoses.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic Madeline has experience providing virtual mental health support and leading a virtual support group focused on pandemic-related challenges. Her style is collaborative and focused on practical tools. People often work on clearer boundaries, healthier routines, and coping strategies for anxiety, mood, and relationship stress.
She asks clients to think in terms of concrete goals and small steps. Early sessions typically focus on identifying what matters most to the client and which skills will fit into their daily life. Follow-up work emphasizes practice and problem solving between meetings.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Madeline commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.She often combines these with client-centered conversation and DBT skills work, so sessions include both practical exercises and reflective discussion. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk through goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what fits the person's needs and preferences.
If you prefer virtual sessions, confirm the exact formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online meetings help fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and make it easier to schedule regular check-ins. Online sessions can also allow focused skills practice between meetings and quicker access to brief follow-ups when problems crop up between appointments.
