About Madeline
Madeline Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem problems. Madeline also focuses on family of origin issues and related patterns that affect adult life.
Madeline uses a mix of practical, evidence-based methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at early relationship patterns that keep showing up now.
Sessions use client-centered principles that let people lead the work while the therapist reflects and clarifies. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are introduced when relationship feelings and bonding patterns are central to the concern.
Madeline has worked with adults facing blended family changes, divorce and separation, chronic illness and cancer related stress, and issues like codependency, guilt, and impulse control. She helps people who want clearer boundaries, steadier self-worth, and fewer automatic reactions tied to their family history.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. People can expect direct discussion of current problems, skills for managing strong feelings, and attention to how old family roles still shape choices today. International clients can be considered; confirm session options when booking.
How Madeline uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life decisions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how those patterns affect current connections and behavior. This approach can help when longstanding family roles or attachment concerns keep repeating in adult life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions in relationship contexts and then working to change interaction patterns. It can be useful when feelings get stuck and interfere with how someone connects or communicates.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madeline will discuss these methods with each person and decide together which fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice guides how sessions are structured and what skills are practiced.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another option is available. Online work can focus on emotion regulation, value-based action, and reframing family patterns just as in-person sessions do, while fitting into everyday life.
