Madison Marcotte Lippert , LCSW, CSW

Madison Marcotte Lippert brings over 7 years of clinical experience working in Ohio and Minnesota, supporting people across a wide range of ages and life circumstances. She has practiced in schools, physician offices and hospitals, and private practice, drawing on that varied experience to adapt care to each setting. Madison holds an LCSW and a CSW - the LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the CSW is a social work credential - and uses her training to help clients navigate both everyday stressors and more complex challenges.

Her clinical toolkit often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, interpersonal conflict, and coping with major life transitions, while recognizing that every person’s needs are unique. Madison earned a Bachelor of Science in Social Work and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University, where she also played Division I hockey and learned the value of resilience, determination, and collaboration. She approaches therapy as a teammate, partnering with clients to identify strengths, set shared goals, and put practical strategies to work. Her style emphasizes collaboration, respect for individual strengths, and steady encouragement for change.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Madison draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values, practice mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships formed early in life and helps people build more secure ways of relating, which can be especially helpful for interpersonal conflict, intimacy concerns, and caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Madison works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive to progress.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or on the go, maintain continuity of care, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change with a therapist.
