About Madeline
Madeline Razavi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and coping with life changes. Madeline aims to meet people where they are and to help them take practical steps forward.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She emphasizes empathy and respect while helping people set clear goals for therapy. Sessions often focus on building new ways to handle strong emotions and on improving how someone connects with others.
Madeline uses an integrated approach that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques alongside supportive listening. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce distress. She also pays attention to patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and forgiveness concerns.
She works with issues related to caregiver stress, control struggles, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose. Workplace issues and women’s specific concerns are also part of her practice. The overall aim is to help people move past the difficulties that brought them to counseling and find more effective ways to cope.

How CBT and Collaborative Care Translate Online
Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods, which involve spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress.

That combination can help people work through issues like abandonment, guilt and shame, and caregiver strain by pairing practical skill-building with a space to process emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Madeline will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Clients can expect a mix of skill practice, reflection, and goal setting tailored to their situation.
