Madeline Claude, LCSW - Therapist in Utah

About Madeline

Madeline Claude is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. She brings six years of clinical experience and aims to create a warm, structured space for practical problem solving. Her approach is straightforward and centered on what will help day-to-day functioning.

She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, obsessive behaviors, and the emotional challenges around pregnancy and postpartum. Sessions look at what keeps problems repeating and build concrete skills to ease worry and boost confidence.

Background and approach

The goal is clearer choices and more control over daily life. Madeline uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable strategies. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and committed action.

These methods are mixed to fit each person’s situation. Her manner is empathetic yet organized. She aims to help clients learn tools they can use between sessions, not just talk about problems.

Therapy is practical with a focus on small, achievable steps. Madeline accepts people dealing with relationship stress, parenting challenges, eating and body-image concerns, gender-related questions, and a wide range of mood and adjustment issues. She practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Madeline frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which fits well into structured online sessions. ACT helps people identify what matters most to them and take small committed steps, a useful focus when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT, ACT, or blend techniques so therapy matches day-to-day needs and values.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use brief check-ins or messages between meetings. The mix of structured techniques and flexible access aims to help clients practice skills in real time and apply them where they live and work.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
