About Mackenzie
Mackenzie Pfeiffer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and address issues related to substance use and addiction.
She focuses on practical, clear conversations. Sessions look at thoughts, habits, and what gets in the way of daily functioning. Mackenzie uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding.
Her background includes long experience in substance use prevention and addiction work that spans more than two decades. That experience shapes how she supports people facing relapse risk, withdrawal from substances, or the longer-term recovery process. She also helps with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and isolation or loneliness.
In sessions she emphasizes straightforward goal-setting and small, practical steps. Clients work together with her to notice patterns, test new behaviors, and track what helps. Conversations are direct and focused on immediate problems and next actions.
People often come for help with low mood, low self-esteem, or life transitions. Mackenzie helps break those problems into manageable pieces and creates short-term plans clients can follow between meetings. To begin, visitors complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How Mackenzie’s approaches translate to online work
Online sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change substance-related routines.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while moving toward chosen goals. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress and cravings.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That process makes it easier to focus on brief, measurable steps rather than abstract promises.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or a break at work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use structured worksheets, behavioral experiments, and brief homework tasks that fit everyday life without large time commitments.
