Madeline Libretti, LCSW

Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings five years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Madeline aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through immediate problems and work toward clearer goals.

She takes a collaborative and client-centered approach. Sessions focus on learning tools that fit daily life, such as coping skills for anxiety, strategies for mood regulation, and communication skills for relationship strain. She also addresses issues like grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, and challenges related to parenting and blended families.

Madeline's background includes hospital-based work in maternal and child health and short-term counseling in a primary care clinic. That experience shaped a practical style that suits people facing medical stress, life transitions, or quick changes in circumstances. She has run virtual support groups and provided remote counseling since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Her methods draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. These approaches are used to build skills, increase emotional awareness, and improve everyday functioning rather than to promise specific outcomes.

People seeking help for jealousy, attachment worries, codependency, or commitment issues may find sessions useful for clarifying values and changing patterns. To start, she asks clients to set clear goals and then practices small, manageable steps toward them.

Therapies that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are intense. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and relationship uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life behavior changes. It works well for worry, low mood, and habits that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a supportive relationship so people can explore feelings and decide on their own next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Madeline works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. Over the first sessions she and the client will try practical techniques and then shift the plan if something does not fit.

Ask about which session formats are currently offered before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into a busy day, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and reducing travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness or behavioral homework between meetings so therapy connects with everyday life.
