About Madeline
Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, collaborative therapy. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Madeline uses conversational, goal-focused sessions to help people build skills that fit their daily life.
Her work combines several approaches so sessions are tailored to each person. She draws on the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take workable steps, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered techniques are also used when they match a client’s needs. Madeline has five years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Social Work, identifying as an LCSW in Florida.
Early in her career she provided therapy in a hospital setting, including maternal and pediatric support, and later worked in primary care offering short-term counseling for adults with medical and mental health concerns. She has experience running virtual support groups and shifted much of her practice to online formats during the pandemic.
That background informs how she structures remote sessions and group work to feel direct and useful. In sessions she prioritizes a team-oriented style. Clients work together with her to set achievable goals, practice new coping tools, and track progress.
The focus is on clear steps and skills people can use between meetings.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Madeline draws from the Gottman Method to look at communication and interaction patterns in relationships, helping people notice habits that increase conflict and practice safer ways to connect. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify what matters most and to take small, values-based steps even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns and behavior cycles and teaches concrete strategies to change them.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Madeline collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following one fixed model.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let visual cues guide conversations, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging support short updates, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or school days while keeping therapeutic progress consistent and practical.
