Madeline Libretti, LCSW

Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered style. She aims to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and midlife changes with practical tools and clear goals. Her tone is straightforward and supportive, focused on what a person can do between sessions.

Madeline brings five years of clinical experience that includes hospital-based care and primary care counseling. Early in her career she worked in maternal-child health in New York, supporting pregnant and postpartum people and families with newborns in neonatal intensive care. She has also provided brief therapy in primary care settings for adults facing new medical diagnoses and chronic health concerns.

Her approach pulls from several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. In practice she focuses on skills building, values-based choices, and clearer communication - whichever fits a person’s goals.

Madeline has experience running virtual support groups and offering counseling online since the COVID-19 pandemic. She combines short-term problem solving with longer-term work on patterns like attachment, codependency, and abandonment wounds. Common concerns she addresses include relationship problems, parenting strain, addiction, grief, and self-esteem.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Madeline commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help when a life transition feels confusing. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches concrete skills for changing behavior and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as problems change or new goals emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling a short check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. This therapist has provided virtual counseling and led online support groups since the COVID-19 pandemic.
