About Madeleine

Madeleine McConnell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on Stress, Anxiety, Addictions, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Parenting, Anger, Self esteem, Career issues, and more. Sessions address practical problems and everyday struggles rather than abstract theory.

She uses a client-centered stance that focuses on what each person brings to the room. That means conversations center on a person's priorities, strengths, and what they want to change. Madeleine also includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people coping with traumatic memories and their aftereffects.

Her background includes leadership roles and work as a clinical supervisor, which shaped how she consults and coaches people navigating career and organizational change. She has worked with post-traumatic stress, panic and anxiety symptoms, and people managing grief and life transitions.

In sessions she draws on practical techniques such as solution-focused approaches to help people set clear goals and take manageable steps. Conversations tend to be direct and oriented toward concrete change - reducing reactive anger, improving sleep, or finding ways to manage work stress.

Madeleine offers support for a wide range of concerns including chronic pain and illness, communication problems, and workplace issues. She works in English and accepts clients from outside the U.S. People who want to start simply follow the matching and scheduling steps on the site's online therapy options.

How sessions work

How Madeleine’s approaches translate to online work

Madeleine uses a client-centered approach that centers on each person's goals and strengths. In practice this means online sessions focus on what the client wants to change, with the counselor adjusting questions and exercises to fit those aims. She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a structured method for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. People who use EMDR often seek help for traumatic memories, post-traumatic stress symptoms, or strong emotional reactions tied to past events. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madeleine treats approach selection as a collaborative choice based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits practical life demands. If you plan to use online sessions, confirm which session formats are currently offered before scheduling. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on high-stress days, or remove the need to commute. Talk and EMDR-based methods can be adapted to online delivery, and she will explain how the chosen techniques will work in remote sessions when you book.
