Madeline Reyes, LMHC

Madeline Reyes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 23 years in the mental health field and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. Her work centers on reducing stress, managing anxiety, and addressing substance use and mood concerns. She uses straightforward, goal-focused strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, combined with motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas. In sessions she listens carefully, offers clear feedback, and helps clients try small, doable changes. Conversations are grounded in respect and realistic steps rather than theory-heavy explanations. Madeline has experience working in forensic settings and in program leadership, which shaped her ability to plan and coordinate treatment goals. That background adds structure when someone needs a steady, predictable approach to problems like parenting stress, relationship strain, or coping with life transitions. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, anger, career uncertainty, and questions about identity and intimacy. Madeline pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck and helps them test new ways of thinking and behaving. Progress often comes from short experiments and tracking what works. Sessions can be held in English or Spanish. Madeline aims to make therapy practical and useful, focusing on what a person wants to change and which steps help most. She invites clients to set clear goals and to check in regularly on how things are moving forward.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT supports work on anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep problems going.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach is helpful for addictions, motivation struggles, and when someone feels stuck about taking the next step.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, try a method, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep or change.

Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice. Phone calls work well if bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
