About Eileen

Eileen Madden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, or life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 13 years of experience to conversations about mood, relationships, parenting challenges, addiction, and self-esteem. Eileen centers sessions on understanding feelings instead of judging them.

She helps people notice how intense emotions can protect them, and then works with clients to respond to those feelings in kinder ways.

Background and approach

Her style invites practical skills alongside gentle reflection so people can feel steadier day to day. She uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based work to change unhelpful patterns and build flexible coping. She also draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current expectations.

Dialectical skills are used when intense emotions or impulsive behaviors need structure and safety. Eileen’s background includes work in outpatient settings and programs that served children and adults across a wide age range. She has experience with in-home and partial hospitalization environments and has supported people facing anxiety, sadness, and anger in those contexts.

She values the link between physical health and mental well-being and brings that perspective into sessions. Outside of therapy she stays active as a runner and boxing instructor and enjoys travel that expands cultural understanding. Her approach combines practical steps, mindful awareness, and steady encouragement so people can reconnect with what matters to them.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match your values; it can help with anxiety, mood struggles, and living with ADHD-related distractions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to reduce distress and improve sleep, mood, or worry. Attachment-Based ideas look at relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current expectations and closeness in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Eileen collaborates with each person to see which methods match their goals, needs, and daily life. Together they set clear, practical aims and adjust techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice new skills in real time, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into busy schedules, and messaging or live chat support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting, or school while keeping the focus on steady, usable change.
