About Madelaine
Madelaine Alejandro is a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She works with individuals who are dealing with relationship strain, depression, postpartum concerns, trauma, or panic attacks. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone checking this on a phone or between errands.
Madelaine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care to guide sessions. She focuses on practical steps a person can try between meetings, and on clear goals that fit day-to-day life. Conversations are intended to be straightforward and collaborative rather than heavy with jargon.
In sessions she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. She also works with attachment and communication issues, as well as problems at work and feelings of isolation or shame. For postpartum depression and post-traumatic stress she uses approaches that emphasize safety and gradual progress.
Her seven years of professional experience inform a calm, steady approach that centers the client’s needs. Madelaine is based in California and conducts work in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so she can understand what they hope to address.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy
Madelaine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care as part of her approach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses to reduce anxiety and panic. Trauma-Informed Care focuses on creating steady pacing and safety while addressing past harm and its effects on daily life.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions often start with small experiments and concrete skills so clients can see what helps before committing to a longer plan.
