About Madelaine
Madelaine Alejandro is a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She supports people coping with relationship strain, workplace issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments between meetings, and skills you can use right away.
She is attentive to how shame, guilt, isolation, and identity affect wellbeing, and she helps people reconnect with self-worth and life purpose. Madelaine also addresses postpartum depression, panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress with strategies that respect each person’s pace.
Clients describe progress as feeling more able to handle stressful days, set boundaries at work, and repair important relationships. Madelaine aims to make therapy straightforward and practical, avoiding jargon and offering concrete steps.

How her approaches translate to online care
Madelaine draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, solving current problems, and attending to trauma's impact. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood, then practicing different ways of thinking and acting. Solution-Focused techniques emphasize setting clear, short-term goals and trying small, practical changes between sessions to see what helps.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Madelaine will discuss options and adapt methods based on what feels useful for each person. Clients and therapist collaborate to choose goals, test strategies, and adjust plans over time so therapy stays relevant to daily life.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
