About Madeline

Madeline Wend is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 13 years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and challenges common in early adulthood such as adjusting to college life and first jobs. She also addresses issues related to LGBT concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and career questions.

Madeline focuses on practical coping skills and clearer thinking. She offers tools to manage overwhelming feelings and to break unhelpful patterns. Sessions emphasize straightforward strategies clients can use between meetings to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her background includes working with people affected by trauma and abuse, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care histories, and caregiver stress. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, body image, commitment worries, and communication problems. These areas often overlap, and she helps people sort linked concerns one step at a time.

In session she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods to guide conversations and skill building. She brings methods like emotion regulation and values-driven goal work into regular sessions so clients can practice outside of therapy.

Madeline accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Costs vary by client location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madeline works with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Many clients find online sessions easier to fit around school, work, and caregiving by reducing travel time. Online meetings can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or use audio-only if bandwidth is limited. These practical options can make it simpler to keep regular appointments while juggling early adult responsibilities.
