About Madeline Libretti
Madeline Libretti, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has provided therapy and mental health support to a range of clients for approximately five years. She earned a Master of Social Work from New York University in 2014 and also holds a Master’s in Experimental Psychology from St. John’s University, giving her a strong foundation in both clinical practice and the study of human behavior.
Early in her career, Madeline worked within a New York City hospital system, offering therapy and support to adults, families, women, and teenagers. Much of that work took place in the Maternal Child Health Department, where she supported women during pregnancy and postpartum, along with families navigating the stress of having a baby in the NICU. She also assisted across pediatrics, the general medical unit, and the emergency department, experiences that shaped a practical, compassionate understanding of how emotional wellbeing and medical stress can intersect.
In more recent years, she has worked in a primary care clinic providing short-term counseling to adults facing concerns such as stress, depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, and the challenges that can follow a new medical diagnosis. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, she has also provided virtual counseling for adults and facilitated a virtual support group for people coping with the effects of the pandemic.
Madeline’s style is collaborative, goal-oriented, and client-centered. She draws from a variety of therapy methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Problem-solving Therapy, tailoring tools and coping strategies to fit each person’s needs. She views therapy as a team effort, designed to help clients clarify their goals and build healthier skills and habits over time. She aims to create a supportive space where reaching out feels more manageable and where clients can work toward meaningful change with confidence.
