About Madeline

Madeline Wend is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health endorsement, LPC-MH, and 13 years of clinical experience. She practices from Texas and focuses on common difficulties adults face at home and work, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and issues tied to family and parenting.

She uses straightforward skills and clear strategies in sessions. Madeline helps people notice recurring patterns that keep problems alive. She offers practical coping tools for managing strong emotions, sleep problems, or eating concerns, and she works with challenges tied to identity and LGBT issues.

Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress. She also supports adults who are managing chronic illness, cancer, or aging-related concerns. Attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and communication problems are part of her regular caseload.

In session she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix informs short-term skills training and longer conversations about patterns and values. Sessions often include practice exercises, problem-solving, and reflection.

Madeline offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the online options button.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns and communication, helping people understand and adjust how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madeline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with skills-based CBT exercises, then shifting to values work from ACT, or using attachment-focused conversations when relationship patterns are central.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can support practicing skills between sessions and keeping therapy aligned with everyday life.
