About Madeline
Madeline Razavi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and life changes. Madeline also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and workplace strain.
Her sessions focus on setting clear, achievable goals. She uses a straightforward, integrated approach that draws on practical tools to address day-to-day problems. Conversations can center on thought patterns, behaviors, and small changes that add up over time.
Madeline aims to listen closely and respond without judgment. In early meetings she helps people name what matters most and identify one or two steps to try between sessions. That makes progress easier to track and keeps the work grounded in daily life.
She pays attention to how attachment and past hurts shape current reactions. When guilt or shame are present, she helps people look at the beliefs that keep those feelings active and test alternatives that reduce their hold. For relationship concerns she focuses on communication patterns and practical ways to rebuild trust and boundaries.
Over eight years Madeline has worked in settings that give her a range of practical tools. Her style is focused on problem solving, increasing clarity, and helping people move from stuck to manageable next steps.
How Madeline uses CBT and practical tools online
Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so people can try small changes that change outcomes. This approach is helpful for anxiety, stress, anger, and many daily problems.Her work is collaborative. She will help figure out which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT exercises and then adding other practical strategies as questions and goals become clearer.
