About Madison

Madison Marcotte Lippert is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for parents and people juggling family responsibilities. She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused so busy caregivers can get clear tools they can use right away. Madison communicates with warmth and directness to help people feel heard and move forward.

Madison draws on ten years of clinical experience in schools, hospitals, and independent practice. Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues like attention challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, grief, and workplace difficulties. In session she blends methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. That means she helps people notice which thoughts and behaviors get in the way, clarify values, and strengthen close relationships.

Sessions are collaborative and aim to teach skills you can use between meetings. Madison earned social work degrees and holds an LCSW license in Illinois and a CSW in Colorado. She currently practices from Minnesota and brings a practical, teammate-style approach to therapy.

Her style suits people who want clear steps and steady support. She offers therapy in English and does not take international clients. Sessions are available in several online formats so parents and caregivers can fit care into their schedules.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy flow.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Madison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also a key approach; it focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful actions even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on close relationships and communication, helping people repair patterns that cause distance or conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madison treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help clients try strategies that match their goals and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan to fit each person's needs and life circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier for parents and caregivers to fit appointments into busy days. They also allow ongoing skill practice and check-ins between live sessions, keeping progress steady even when schedules are tight.

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.
