Madeline ClaudeLCSW

Madeline Claude is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience. She supports people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Many clients come because of anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, or challenges around pregnancy and the perinatal period.

She creates a warm, structured space to look at what keeps someone stuck. Sessions focus on practical tools people can use in daily life. The goal is more control, clearer choices, and increased confidence.

Madeline blends several evidence-informed approaches to match each person's needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small actions that matter. Solution-focused and client-centered methods shape a collaborative, goal-oriented process. Madeline adapts pacing and structure so sessions feel useful and manageable.

People often come for help with parenting strain, postpartum depression, relationship and communication problems, eating and body concerns, or life transitions. She also supports those facing shame, isolation, or questions about gender and identity. Conversations tend to be straightforward, with clear steps to try between sessions.

Starting is a brief matching and scheduling process. Madeline explains options and works together with each person to set realistic first steps. The emphasis is on short-term gains that build toward longer change.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Madeline uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change everyday habits. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and OCD symptoms.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT can help with life changes, parenting stress, and perinatal concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Madeline will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels useful for the individual.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep regular appointments.
