About Madeline

Madeline Wend is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience. She practices in Texas and guides adults through stressful and painful life moments. Her work focuses on helping people move from hurting to functioning better in daily life.

She listens first and then offers practical steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions often include coping strategies and skills for managing anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Madeline uses straightforward exercises rather than jargon so parents can apply them at home.

Background and approach

Her approach pays attention to how early bonds and current patterns shape reactions. She helps people spot repeating habits and choose different responses. That can change how families relate and reduce ongoing conflict.

Madeline draws from several evidence-informed methods. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to build meaningful action, cognitive-behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking, and attachment-based work to repair connection. Those methods are adapted to each person’s situation and goals.

Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She speaks English and accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step start the process.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and taking small actions toward those values. It helps when worries or low mood make it hard to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can shift as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing contact between meetings. Madeline adapts exercises and homework for each format so clients can practice skills in day-to-day life.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
