Madeline Claude , LCSW

Madeline Claude is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. She welcomes conversations about anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, and the emotional challenges that come with pregnancy and early parenthood. Her approach is simple and direct: identify what’s keeping someone stuck and build practical steps forward.

Madeline creates a warm, organized space for sessions. She mixes structured skillwork with open, person-centered listening. That balance helps people gain clarity and steady momentum instead of bouncing between quick fixes.

In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior skills to manage intense emotions and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people move toward values-based choices. Solution-focused methods help set small, achievable goals between appointments.

Her work often addresses relationship strain, parenting stress, eating and body concerns, identity questions such as gender dysphoria, and life transitions. She also helps with attachment and communication difficulties, obsessive-compulsive concerns, postpartum mood struggles, and feelings of isolation or shame.

People who come to Madeline are looking for practical tools and steady support. She emphasizes collaboration, clear steps, and skills people can use right away. Sessions are offered from Utah and conducted in English.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small steps toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes where values and direction feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting; it works well for anxiety, depression, and obsessive worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people feel more in control and confident about what they are trying.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions, do short coaching-style exchanges, or keep a running log of progress. These options make it easier to use skills in day-to-day life and stay consistent with therapy when schedules are tight.
