She supports people navigating stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges with anger management. Madeline brings an integrated, non-judgmental, and empathetic style to her work, helping clients identify meaningful goals and develop the kinds of connections and skills that promote forward movement beyond the issues that brought them to counseling.

Madeline aims to create a safe and personal environment where individuals can explore life’s concerns at their own pace. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms the steps people take toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Madeline Razavi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, often helpful for stress, anxiety, and managing anger by teaching tools for coping and problem solving.

She also employs an integrated, non-judgmental approach that blends empathy with goal-setting. This allows exploration of relationship patterns, trauma responses, and life transitions while tailoring strategies to each person’s needs.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Madeline works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She encourages open dialogue about what is and is not helpful so adjustments can be made over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt sessions to a client’s preferred style.
