About Madeleine
Madeleine McConnell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and related concerns. She also works with issues such as sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, career stress, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Madeleine connects practical steps to daily life rather than offering abstract talk alone.
She uses client-centered work to help people identify strengths and set realistic goals. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Madeleine also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related symptoms when appropriate.
Her background includes leadership, clinical supervision, and consulting for individuals and organizations. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with workplace issues, career transitions, and professional burnout. Madeleine brings a problem-solving attitude to sessions, helping clients try techniques and track what helps.
Sessions often begin by clarifying a few concrete goals and choosing steps to practice between meetings. Madeleine talks through strategies for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing harmful patterns. She also offers coaching-style support for people making life or career changes.
People who want a straightforward, practical approach to anger, anxiety, or trauma will find sessions focused on skills, repeated practice, and checking progress. Madeleine works in English and accepts international clients; she sees how physical health, chronic pain, and ongoing stress affect mood and coping.
How Madeleine blends client-centered work and EMDR online
Madeleine uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on what the client wants to change. That approach centers on identifying goals, building on existing strengths, and choosing practical steps to try between meetings. It suits people who want clear objectives and hands-on strategies for handling anger, stress, and workplace problems.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused memory work to reduce the impact of traumatic memories. People with trauma-related reactions, post-traumatic stress, or intense emotional responses sometimes find EMDR helps lower the intensity of those memories.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Madeleine will review symptoms, preferences, and goals with the client and suggest whether client-centered techniques, EMDR, or a mix makes sense. She works with the client to set short-term goals and adjust methods based on how things progress.
