Madeline Reyes

Madeline Reyes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 23 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked in forensic settings and held leadership roles in a major Miami mental health hospital. Madeline speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, respectful manner to sessions.

Her background includes time as a forensic counselor and as a program director at a forensic facility, giving her experience with structured clinical settings and program oversight. Over the years she has helped people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction-related concerns, and she has supported those facing major life transitions.

Madeline uses clear, goal-oriented methods in session. She leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also integrates motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and to build commitment to practical steps.

Sessions are described as warm and nonjudgmental, with active listening, straightforward feedback, and steady support. She aims to make conversations feel respectful and focused so people can tackle problems like parenting stress, relationship strains, or career changes without extra jargon.

People looking for help with coping with life changes, managing strong emotions, or addressing substance use can expect an approach that balances short-term goals with attention to the bigger picture. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the stated process.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Madeline draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or low mood. Motivational interviewing uses open conversation to help someone strengthen their own reasons for change and build small, achievable steps toward goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then recommend methods to try together. That plan can shift as progress is reviewed and needs change.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try a focused, goal-oriented method like CBT even when attending from different locations, while motivational interviewing supports steady progress between sessions.
