About Madeleine

Madeleine McConnell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and ADHD. Madeleine uses a warm, strength-focused style to help people notice what works and build on it.

She centers sessions on the person's priorities and goals. That means practical steps and clear milestones rather than vague talk. She combines a client-centered stance with targeted tools to address trauma, post-traumatic stress, and panic symptoms.

Background and approach

Madeleine also brings experience with workplace and leadership concerns. She has supported people dealing with career change, workplace stress, and organizational transitions. Those experiences shape how she helps clients manage role changes and professional pressure.

Her work includes attention to relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and challenges around parenting and family life. She helps people address anger, self-esteem struggles, and adjustments after loss. Madeleine also supports those coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability in daily routines and planning.

In sessions she aims for collaboration. Clients can expect a clear plan, practical coping strategies, and regular check-ins on progress. Madeleine helps people translate insight into small, sustainable actions that fit their life.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following each person's lead. In practice this means the therapist helps people set their own goals and supports the steps they choose to reach them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their impact on daily life. Sessions involve structured processing of distressing memories alongside guided attention patterns, which can help with post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation that can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick touchpoints and flexibility between formal sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care across locations.
