About Madeline

Madeline Cohen is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience, she supports clients facing self-esteem struggles, life transitions, and the long-term effects of trauma, drawing on a range of evidence-informed therapies to tailor care to each person's needs. Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate stance that invites clients to explore their inner experience and build practical skills for coping and growth.

Madeline works with concerns that include attachment wounds, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, control issues, and the emotional fallout from divorce or family conflict. She also assists people dealing with guilt and shame, impulsivity, questions about life purpose, midlife adjustments, and post-traumatic stress.

Madeline blends approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered therapy, and Emotionally-Focused methods to create a flexible plan that aligns with clients' goals. Sessions accommodate a variety of formats to fit different schedules, and she welcomes clients who are located internationally and communicate in English.

Integrating relational and parts-focused work online

Madeline uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice and gently dialog with different internal parts, which can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and patterns that affect relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build willingness to live a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on safety in relationships and explores how early bonds shape current emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Madeline partners with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, and she adapts methods over time if something is not working well for the individual.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations, accommodate mobility or health constraints, and fit therapy into busy days while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work.
