Madeline Claude, LCSW

Madeline Claude is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of practice. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She sees people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, and struggles around pregnancy and childbirth. Her aim is to create a calm, structured space where clients can start to make small, manageable changes.

Her approach combines clear, evidence-based methods with a warm, flexible style. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses components of dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to build coping skills and tolerance for difficult feelings.

Sessions focus on practical tools and steady progress. Madeline helps people break down problems into workable steps and practice new habits between meetings. She pays attention to relationship patterns, parenting stress, eating and food-related issues, and identity concerns such as gender dysphoria.

People who come for therapy with her can expect a mix of structure and empathy. The work often includes skill building, goal setting, and checking what’s helping in daily life. Madeline frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals lead the work.

Madeline practices in Utah and offers care in English. Her background supports work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, postpartum challenges, social anxiety, and other life changes. Starting is done through a short questionnaire and scheduling that follows the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift attention toward valued actions. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and practicing concrete skills to change them. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and obsessive thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they target the issues that matter most to the client.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, reduce travel time, or make it simpler to meet when juggling family or work demands. Therapists can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to remote sessions through skill practice, worksheets, and focused conversations that build new habits and reduce distress.
