Madeline Libretti

Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings five years of clinical experience to brief and ongoing therapy for adults. Madeline focuses on practical tools and calm, direct conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and other life challenges.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday skills people can use between meetings. She draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and the Gottman Method to match techniques to each person's needs.

Madeline's early work was in a New York City hospital system, supporting women during pregnancy and postpartum stages and families with infants in neonatal care. She also has experience in pediatrics, emergency settings, and general medical units, which shaped her skills helping people cope with medical stress and sudden life changes.

More recently she provided short-term counseling in a primary care clinic, helping adults adjust to new medical diagnoses and chronic conditions. During the COVID-19 pandemic Madeline shifted some services online and led a virtual support group focused on pandemic-related stress.

Her sessions often combine problem-solving, skills practice, and values-based work. Madeline aims to help people build routines and coping strategies for anger, relationship strain, parenting stress, attention challenges, and other concerns listed on her profile. She encourages open discussion about goals and adapts techniques to fit each person's pace and priorities.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Madeline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small, meaningful actions that line up with their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes because it focuses on living despite difficult thoughts and feelings.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice different behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing intense emotions. Client-Centered Therapy informs her way of working by keeping the client's perspective central and by building a trusting, respectful working relationship.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Madeline works together with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

The online setting can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether arranging shorter check-ins or scheduling appointments around work and family commitments. Because session formats are not specified in her profile, confirm current session options before booking to learn what Madeline offers and how they can work for your routine.
