About Madeline
Madeline Reyes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 23 years of experience in the mental health field. She brings long-term experience in clinical and program roles and offers calm, focused guidance for people facing hard moments. Sessions are held in English and Spanish to meet a range of communication needs.
Madeline uses practical therapy tools that help people address everyday struggles. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on Motivational Interviewing to support behavior change.
Background and approach
Her sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Her background includes leadership roles in forensic mental health settings and many years working directly with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families on depression, anxiety, trauma, and parenting concerns. That combination shaped a skill set for managing crises and planning longer-term change alike.
In the room she aims for warm, nonjudgmental interaction, active listening, and straightforward feedback. People can expect practical strategies, short-term goals, and coaching to build skills for daily life. Spanish speakers can work in their preferred language when needed.
Madeline helps people who are coping with grief, addiction, relationship strain, career stress, ADHD, and major life transitions. She also supports those dealing with anger, intimacy issues, and caregiver stress. Her work blends problem-solving with compassionate encouragement to keep progress moving.
How Madeline’s Methods Work Online
Madeline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful ones; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and builds readiness for things like reducing substance use or changing habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach, reviewing progress, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to one fixed method up front.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make regular care easier to fit into life. Video offers face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can be a good shorter check-in, live chat is helpful for quick processing, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make scheduling simpler and to match the mode of contact to the moment and the client’s needs.
