About Madeline
Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and other common life struggles. Sessions address practical problems like sleep, parenting, career stress, and coping with change.
Madeline uses structured, goal-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered techniques, and elements of the Gottman Method. In sessions she offers concrete tools for mood, anxiety, and behavior change.
Her background includes social work practice in hospital settings and primary care. Early work involved supporting pregnant and postpartum women, families with infants in neonatal care, and adults across medical units and the emergency department. More recently she provided short-term counseling in a primary care clinic addressing stress, new medical diagnoses, and chronic conditions.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Madeline has delivered virtual mental health support and has led an online support group for pandemic-related difficulties. That experience shaped her approach to brief, focused interventions that fit into busy lives.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions commonly include skill teaching, practical problem solving, and tracking small changes over time. People who prefer clear, structured work on thoughts, behaviors, and emotions may find this approach aligns with their needs.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often through short exercises and homework that can be done between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the client’s own goals while the therapist clarifies and reflects what matters to the client.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues presented. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting over time rather than committing to one method up front.
Confirm the session formats before you book, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it simpler to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other responsibilities. Some people find certain formats are easier when they prefer quieter surroundings, need less bandwidth, or want a shorter midweek check-in. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and rhythm of sessions during the initial scheduling process.
