About Madeline
Madeline Cohen is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She keeps sessions focused on what matters now and helps clients take small, practical steps toward feeling more steady. Conversations are warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making change feel possible and manageable.
With 15 years of experience, Madeline draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for a person’s perspective and to build understanding at the person’s pace. She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas into sessions to address unwanted thoughts, values-based living, and patterns that show up in close relationships.
Madeline works with people navigating trauma, post-traumatic stress reactions, blended family issues, body image concerns, chronic illness, grief around cancer or major health changes, and problems rooted in family of origin. She pays attention to how control issues, codependency, guilt, and shame affect daily life and decision making.
Her style is collaborative and practical. She helps people try out new ways of coping, notice what works, and adjust plans as needed. The goal is clearer choices and more calm in daily life.
People who choose Madeline can expect straightforward care that prioritizes their goals, life context, and pace of change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the client’s experience leads the work. Online sessions using this approach let the person guide topics while the therapist reflects, clarifies, and supports whatever feels most important. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include short experiential exercises and practical homework to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions, which can be explored through conversation and guided reflection in remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with clients to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. This is a team effort where the client’s values and comfort guide decisions about methods and pacing.
