About Magdelene
Magdelene Thebaud is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar concerns, and career-related stress. She also focuses on feelings of emptiness, loneliness, jealousy, and building self-love.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions usually involve talking through what feels most urgent, identifying small changes that fit daily life, and testing what helps. She pays attention to how work, relationships, and routines affect mood and energy.
Magdelene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape session work. That means tools and strategies that target symptoms and habits, then adjusting them based on what a person reports. She works collaboratively with each person to figure out which strategies make sense for their situation.
She aims to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and to try concrete steps to change those patterns. Conversations often include setting short-term goals, practicing different ways of responding to stress, and reviewing what did or did not help between sessions.
Her practice is attentive to cultural context and everyday pressures like jobs and family responsibilities. People who prefer a direct, practical approach to mood, self-worth, and career pressures may find this style useful.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Magdelene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. That includes approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and methods that teach practical skills for managing mood and stress. These methods aim to reduce symptoms and build consistent habits through step-by-step exercises and review.Another common element is problem-focused work for career and daily stress. This involves identifying specific stressors, planning small manageable changes, and tracking what improves. For issues like loneliness or low self-esteem she uses reflective discussion and behavioral experiments to try different ways of relating to others and to oneself.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means trialing a method, checking results, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to a single path upfront.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into work days, avoiding travel, or having a shorter check-in when time is limited. Others prefer sessions that allow more time for skill practice; she will work with clients to arrange a format that suits their schedule and needs.
