Madeline Wend , LPC, LPC-MH

Madeline Wend is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with thirteen years of experience helping people work through pain and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and boost everyday functioning. Her approach aims to move someone from hurting to healing one step at a time.

Madeline uses clear, skills-based work to address anxiety and depression. She offers tools for managing stress, improving sleep, and handling strong emotions like anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, identity questions, and career pressure.

Relationship concerns are a frequent focus, including communication problems, commitment worries, and blended family challenges. She helps people sort through family conflict and parenting strain while addressing attachment and abandonment themes.

Her background includes work with clients facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and body image or eating concerns. She also supports people navigating autism-related issues, aging and geriatric questions, and the emotional effects of adoption or foster care.

Madeline draws from several therapeutic methods to match the person in front of her. Sessions aim to teach coping strategies, change unhelpful patterns, and create room for new ways of relating. She offers care in English and works with clients in Texas and internationally through online formats.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Madeline commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take actions that match those values, even when emotions are difficult. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy when relationship history affects current reactions. That work examines how early bonds shape expectations and helps people form healthier ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madeline talks with each person about their goals and preferences and adjusts methods together. Clients collaborate on what feels useful, trying different tools until a good fit emerges.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you speak face to face, phone sessions work when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, manage crises, or keep momentum while traveling or living abroad.
