About Madeline
Madeline Wend is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and holds an LPC-MH credential with 13 years of clinical experience in Texas. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She also works with concerns related to relationships, family matters, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career stress. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Madeline aims to help people move out of ongoing hurt and toward more functional ways of living. She uses clear, practical steps in sessions. Clients can expect coping strategies and concrete skills to manage symptoms. She pays attention to recurring patterns that keep people stuck and helps them notice alternatives.
Her background includes approaches that address emotions and attachment, as well as thoughts and behavior. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns in relationships and attachment, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on values and committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods guide skill practice and conversational support.
Madeline also addresses specific life contexts such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image. She offers direct communication coaching for commitment and communication problems, and helps people handle co-morbidity and complex stressors.
In early meetings she will assess immediate needs and suggest practical tools to try between sessions. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a time for the first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. It helps people notice how feelings shape reactions and offers ways to change those patterns through emotional awareness and responsive interaction.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. It uses mindfulness and behavioral exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action for issues like anxiety, depression, and career stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns to understand repeated problems in relationships and self-regulation. It can be useful for abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and attachment-related anxiety.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to emphasize. Together they decide what to try, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
