About Madeline
Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, hands-on support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She keeps sessions collaborative and goal-focused so clients leave with clear steps they can try between meetings. Many come to her for help with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and complicated life changes.
Madeline draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take action even when feelings are hard. Client-centered work keeps the pace guided by each person. Her background includes hospital-based work supporting pregnant and postpartum women and families, plus time in primary care offering short-term counseling for adults with new or ongoing medical concerns.
That mix taught her to be flexible and keep interventions brief and practical when needed. Sessions often include clear tools - breathing and grounding practices, behavior experiments, communication skills, and stepwise plans to manage anger or cravings. Madeline helps people practice small changes and track what works over time.
She has five years of clinical experience and holds a Master’s degree in Social Work. Madeline practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her style is warm and focused on helping clients build skills they can use outside of therapy.
People who want straightforward, skill-based help for stress, anger, parenting challenges, or relationship patterns may find her approach useful. She aims to make therapy feel doable and relevant to everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online care
Madeline commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or sleep problems. ACT helps people name what matters most to them and take values-based steps even when emotions feel intense.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients try methods and adjust based on what fits their goals and life. If a skill or method isn’t helping, she adapts the plan so the work stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice communication skills face to face. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
