Madeline Claude

Madeline Claude is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Utah with six years of practice. She meets with teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Many people come to her worried about anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, or perinatal mood concerns. She aims to create a warm, structured space so clients can talk through what’s keeping them stuck and build practical ways to cope.

In sessions she blends cognitive behavioral ideas with skills from dialectical behavior approaches and acceptance-oriented strategies. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes, and practice new habits that fit daily life. She also uses solution-focused and client-centered methods to keep work grounded and achievable.

Her style is described as empathetic, flexible, and structured. Conversations are paced to match each person’s needs, with concrete tools offered alongside chances to process feelings. Parents concerned about eating or food-related issues will find focused attention on behaviors, thoughts, and routines that affect meals and body image.

Madeline emphasizes collaboration when setting goals. She helps people break larger problems into manageable steps. Sessions often include practice exercises and brief check-ins to track progress between visits.

Starting therapy is treated as a partnership. She encourages questions about methods, timing, and what to expect so clients can make choices that fit their life and values.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test new, healthier habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins between in-depth sessions. It also supports trying tools and practices in everyday settings so skills transfer more readily into daily life.
