Madeline Reyes, LMHC

Madeline Reyes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 23 years of experience in mental health. She has worked in forensic settings and held leadership responsibilities at a major mental health hospital in Miami. Madeline brings steady experience to people facing midlife changes, career shifts, and relationship stress.

She uses straightforward talk and focused goals in sessions. Expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where active listening and respectful feedback are normal. Madeline combines practical strategies with motivational conversation to help people find next steps.

Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, addictions, parenting concerns, trauma and grief. She also helps with self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, anger, and ADHD. Many clients come when life transitions feel overwhelming or when old patterns need changing.

Madeline has experience with forensic counseling and program leadership at a Miami mental health hospital. That history informs how she structures treatment and sets clear, realistic aims. She draws on two decades of varied clinical work to adapt to different situations.

In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral techniques with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused elements. That mix lets her offer skill-building, help to clarify motivation, and short-term goal work. People who want practical tools and steady guidance often find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and teach specific skills that change behavior and mood. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing, which focuses on clarifying a person's reasons for change and strengthening their own motivation. That approach is useful when someone is unsure about making a change, such as addressing an addiction or shifting career direction.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, preferences, and pacing. This is a collaborative process, and techniques can be adjusted as the work progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others like having a consistent weekly appointment that is easier to keep from home or during a break at work. Ask about the specific formats available when you match so you can pick what best fits your schedule and needs.
