About Madeline
Madeline Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. Her work also includes social anxiety and a wide range of related issues.
She uses a blend of practical therapies rather than one fixed method. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, usable steps a person can try between meetings. Madeline draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, emotionally-focused techniques, and EMDR when appropriate.
Madeline often helps people untangle family of origin problems, blended family challenges, and control or codependency patterns. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, cancer, or body image concerns. Conversations cover concrete skills for stress reduction and ways to shift uncomfortable patterns in relationships.
Her style emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. She listens for what matters to each person and then suggests exercises, mindfulness practices, or communication strategies they can test out. Progress is measured by small changes the person notices in daily life.
Madeline accepts international clients and conducts work in English. If someone is weighing whether to try therapy, she asks about real-world limits such as time and routine, then plans sessions that fit those constraints.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, including social anxiety, and for learning small behavioral steps that reduce avoidance.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that formed in early relationships and how they show up now. It can help with relationship conflicts, blended family issues, and attachment concerns by exploring how connections are made and repaired.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy used for processing traumatic memories and intense emotional reactions. When used, it is paired with grounding strategies and paced to a person’s tolerance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals, and what feels manageable. Sessions often mix talking, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises so people can test changes between meetings.
