About Madeline Libretti

Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with about five years of professional experience supporting adults, families, women, and teenagers through a range of life challenges. She holds a Master of Social Work from New York University and a Master in Experimental Psychology from St. John’s University, and her early clinical work was rooted in a New York City hospital system where she provided mental health services across maternal child health, pediatrics, the general medical unit, and the emergency department. In that role she supported pregnant and post-partum women, families with infants in the NICU, and other patients facing medical and psychological stressors.

For the past two years she has worked in a primary care clinic delivering short-term counseling to adults managing stress, depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, and new medical diagnoses. Since the COVID-19 pandemic she has also provided virtual mental health support, including facilitating a virtual support group focused on pandemic-related challenges. Her clinical style is collaborative, goal-oriented, and client-centered, emphasizing teamwork between therapist and client to identify priorities and build practical skills.

Madeline draws from a variety of therapeutic tools to meet clients where they are, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Problem-Solving Therapy, and she aims to equip people with coping strategies and habit changes that fit their lives. She seeks to create a supportive environment so individuals feel comfortable and confident pursuing their goals and developing healthier patterns over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Madeline Libretti integrates approaches that focus on values, practical change, and the client's experience to support meaningful progress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop psychological flexibility so they can act in line with their values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clients to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured techniques and skill building - it is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, and coping with medical diagnoses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore solutions at their own pace - it can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and general emotional support.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Madeline works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what proves most effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation or geographic constraints, and maintain continuity of support. Working with licensed professionals through these formats can provide consistent access to therapy while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
