About Madeline
Madeline Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, and self-esteem struggles. Madeline also focuses on attachment issues and life transitions common in young adulthood.
Madeline uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage overwhelming feelings. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems repeating and build clear tools for daily life. She blends approaches that encourage emotional awareness and present-moment coping skills.
Her work often addresses relationship patterns, body image concerns, and family-of-origin themes that affect current choices. She supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, or ongoing pain who need strategies to handle emotional strain alongside medical care. Divorce, separation, and blended family challenges are also part of her caseload.
When trauma is part of the picture, Madeline draws on methods aimed at processing distressing memories and calming the nervous system. She also uses acceptance-focused practices to help clients make values-based choices when change feels risky. The goal is to help people act in line with their values even when anxiety or shame is present.
Madeline aims to work collaboratively, naming problems plainly and setting small, practical steps. She helps clients track progress and adjust strategies over time. People who are navigating early-adult milestones often find this focused, skills-based approach useful.
How Madeline’s approaches translate to online work
Madeline draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change those interaction habits.She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. Early sessions focus on what feels most pressing, what goals the client has, and which methods fit the person’s style. Together they try tools, check how they work, and adjust the plan as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work often makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, requires less travel time, and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone meet with a therapist across different time zones. Madeline will discuss practical arrangements and match a working method to the client’s needs and daily life.
