About Madeline
Madeline Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and self-esteem concerns. Sessions are focused on concrete steps people can use at home and in daily life.
Madeline draws on several therapy styles to help people manage difficult feelings and rebuild routines. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. She also applies Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered approaches guide conversations about feelings and needs.
In sessions she helps people talk through family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and the strain that parenting can bring. She also supports those facing illness, chronic pain, cancer, divorce or separation, and midlife transitions. Practical planning and in-session practice are part of the work.
Madeline often addresses trauma symptoms and post-traumatic stress with methods such as EMDR when appropriate. She helps people cope with guilt, shame, codependency, control issues, and impulsivity by breaking problems into manageable steps. The focus is on clear, doable changes rather than abstract theory.
She accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to match personal needs and schedules.
How sessions work
Approach and how online sessions work
Madeline often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. ACT focuses on values-based actions so daily choices line up with what matters most, which can help with anxiety and stress.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and gives tools to try different responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madeline will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That plan is reviewed and adjusted together as sessions progress.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy day, shortening commute time, and keeping check-ins brief when needed. Pick times that fit around parenting, work breaks, or medical appointments so therapy can become part of everyday life rather than another task.
