About Madeline
Madeline Razavi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and major life changes. Madeline focuses on practical steps people can use to manage strong emotions and reduce their day-to-day reactivity.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety and then try different responses. In sessions she helps clients set clear goals and practice small skills that change how they respond in tense moments. Conversations are straightforward and centered on what the client wants to change.
Madeline also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, and workplace pressures. She supports people working through isolation, questions of life purpose, and relationship dynamics that build frustration over time. The work often involves identifying triggers and testing new behaviors between sessions.
Her approach emphasizes respect and sensitivity while encouraging action. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and problem-solving aimed at reducing repeated patterns. Progress is tracked against the goals the client sets.

How her approaches translate to online work
Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT focuses on identifying patterns that escalate anger or anxiety and on practicing new behaviors that reduce reactivity. This approach is helpful for workplace stress, relationship conflict, and managing everyday anger.The therapist also draws on focused, goal-oriented work that breaks larger problems into achievable steps. That means setting small, specific targets and checking progress each session. This style helps people test changes between meetings and adjust strategies based on what works.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Madeline will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to emphasize and when to try alternatives.
Session formats were not specified in the original biography, so confirm the platform's current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can still use CBT exercises, behavioral experiments, and homework tasks effectively in virtual settings, helping clients practice new responses in real life.
