Madison Marcotte Lippert, LCSW, CSW

Madison Marcotte Lippert greets people with a straightforward, team-oriented style. She focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and cope with life changes. Madison is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience and she works from Minnesota. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and make choices that fit the life they want. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationships and connection are central to the problem. Madison spent years practicing in schools, hospitals, physician offices, and private settings. That variety shaped a flexible approach that fits different situations and schedules. She aims to meet people where they are and adapt techniques to what feels useful. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Madison treats therapy like teamwork: she and the client set goals together and use the client’s strengths to meet them. Small, concrete steps are emphasized so progress is noticeable between sessions. She also supports people with stress from caregiving, workplace strain, parenting challenges, and identity-related concerns including LGBT issues. Other areas she helps with include grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating difficulties, attention challenges, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

How Madison blends structured therapy with online care

CBT helps people break cycles of unhelpful thinking by testing thoughts and trying new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress management. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that match those values even when uncomfortable feelings remain; it is useful for coping with life changes, burnout, and persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships, helping people understand how past connection shapes current reactions and supporting healthier communication and closeness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Madison treats that as a team decision and will help clients pick or blend approaches based on their goals, needs, and what feels most useful in practice. She regularly checks in and adjusts methods as progress evolves.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are practical for short check-ins, homework, or when writing helps process feelings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
