About Madelaine
Madelaine Alejandro is a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with seven years of practice supporting people through hard moments. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.
She focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions. Sessions often include straightforward skills to manage panic, reduce overwhelming thoughts, and improve communication. She pays attention to how attachment, shame, and isolation affect day-to-day choices and moods.
Madelaine uses approaches drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That includes Cognitive Behavioral work to identify unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused strategies to set short-term goals. She also uses trauma-informed care to acknowledge how past events continue to shape reactions now.
In sessions she helps people break problems into small, manageable pieces. Conversations alternate between skill practice and checking how those skills feel in real life. She also addresses practical pressures like work stress, parenting demands, and relationship conflict when they affect mental health.
People who prefer clear steps and concrete tools often find this style useful. Madelaine asks about current routines, coping methods, and what matters most to you, then builds small, achievable plans.
