Madeline Claude

Madeline Claude is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people feeling overwhelmed or stuck find clearer direction. She works with teens and adults who face anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, and challenges around the perinatal period. Her approach aims to reduce worry and burnout and increase practical confidence in day-to-day life.

Madeline creates a warm, structured space to look at what keeps someone stuck. Sessions focus on identifying patterns and building concrete tools people can use right away. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based and skills-focused work to suit each person's needs.

Her style is empathetic but organized, with room for flexibility as issues evolve. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to manage intense emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take manageable steps toward them.

Practical goals are central in sessions, such as improving daily routines, managing intrusive thoughts, or navigating relationship stress. Madeline also supports people through eating and body image concerns, parenting strain, and life transitions. Work often combines skill practice, problem solving, and short-term planning.

She has six years of clinical experience and practices in Utah. Sessions are offered in English. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps pair people with her based on fit and timing.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when worry, shame, or low mood make choices feel overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and for building routines that reduce stress.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or a mix of methods will best fit the person’s needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time or allowing a shorter check-in during a workday. It also lets people continue regular care while managing life changes or when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skill practice to work well over online appointments, and sessions often include structured take-home steps to practice between meetings.
