Madeline Libretti

Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers practical, collaborative therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes. She meets clients where they are and focuses on clear goals and real tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues related to narcissism. Her tone is direct and supportive, aimed at helping clients feel steadier and more capable day to day.

Madeline draws on five years of clinical experience in hospital and primary care settings. Early in her career she provided mental health support for pregnant and postpartum women, families with infants in neonatal care, and adults seen across medical units and the emergency department. More recently she has offered short-term counseling in primary care for adults coping with new medical diagnoses and chronic health issues.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among other methods. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills, problem solving, and building habits that fit a person’s life. Madeline describes therapy as a team effort where the client’s goals guide each step.

She has led virtual support work related to pandemic stress and has adapted to offering mental health support online. Madeline aims to create a calm, straightforward space where clients can practice new ways of responding to old problems and track progress over time.

Madeline is based in Florida and works in English. She uses an organized, goal-focused style that suits people who want clear strategies and steady support while they navigate change.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Madeline often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small steps toward a meaningful life. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and builds concrete skills to change behavior. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood problems, sleep, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madeline will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what's working and adjust strategies over time so sessions stay focused and practical.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people join from locations with quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote formats to keep progress moving forward.
