About Madeline
Madeline Reyes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 23 years of experience in the mental health field. She has a long history in forensic settings, including time as a forensic counselor and as a program director at a large mental health hospital in Miami. Madeline works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting stresses, relationship and family problems, and anger.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based methods in sessions. Expect clear conversation about what is causing frustration or conflict, and practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Madeline blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused strategies to help people notice thinking and behavior patterns and try different responses.
Her background includes years working with adolescents, young adults, and adults on behavioral concerns, trauma, and adjustment to life changes. That experience informs a direct style aimed at identifying forces that keep emotional reactions cycling and what to try instead. She offers feedback and concrete techniques rather than long theory talks.
Sessions typically include active listening, targeted questions, and homework or small experiments to practice between meetings. Madeline emphasizes building skills for managing stress, anger, and relationship conflict so daily life feels more manageable.
She works in English and Spanish and has experience addressing grief, intimacy issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance concerns. People who want clear steps and a practical plan to change how they respond to anger and stress are likely to find this approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as breaking down upsetting situations, changing immediate reactions, and practicing alternative responses to anger.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clarify a person's own reasons for change and build small, practical steps toward those goals. This method helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making different choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as work progresses. Sessions often mix skill practice, problem-solving, and brief experiments to try between meetings.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time so people can schedule therapy around work or family demands. Madeline draws on CBT and motivational strategies in virtual sessions to focus on practical steps for handling anger and stress.
