About Madeline

Madeline Razavi is a licensed clinical social worker in California with eight years of hands-on experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and big life transitions. Madeline uses a warm, nonjudgmental manner to set clear goals and guide practical steps forward.

She centers respect and compassion in sessions. Madeline listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. From there she supports skill-building that can ease daily pressure and improve how people relate to others.

Background and approach

Madeline often uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of reacting. Sessions include concrete strategies to manage mood, reduce overwhelm, and handle conflict more calmly.

She also pays attention to patterns around attachment, abandonment, guilt, and forgiveness. Madeline helps people untangle how past hurts show up now, and work toward clearer boundaries and more self-compassion. Caregiver stress, workplace challenges, and finding life purpose are common topics she addresses.

Therapy can feel hard at first, and she acknowledges that step with encouragement. Her style aims to be practical and steady - offering tools, listening, and a plan for change. Madeline works in English and practices in California.

How Madeline Uses CBT Online

Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety or make relationships harder. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses, which can reduce worry and improve everyday coping.

In sessions she pairs direct skill-building with conversation. That means practical tools like thought records, behavioral experiments, and coping strategies alongside discussions about attachment, guilt, and forgiveness. Together the therapist and client decide which steps feel most useful based on goals and preferences.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She works collaboratively to try techniques, then adjusts them to fit the client's needs and life. The therapist checks in regularly to see what’s working and what should change so the plan stays relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls mimic in-person conversation for deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, brief progress notes, or support between sessions. These options make ongoing work easier to fit into a busy routine while still focusing on practical change.
