About Madison
Madison Marcotte Lippert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of practice experience. She works in Minnesota and provides therapy for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and caregiver stress.
Madison uses straightforward methods to help people name and manage strong emotions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based approaches to look at how patterns of relating and attachment affect day-to-day life. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered techniques when those fit the person's needs.
Her background includes work in schools, hospitals, and private practice settings. Those varied experiences shaped a practical way of working - she focuses on what people can do differently now and how to build on existing strengths. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and the feelings that underlie them.
Madison pays attention to life roles that create strain, such as caregiving, workplace stress, or parenting challenges. She also addresses concerns like grief, addiction, and sleep or eating issues. When trauma or post-traumatic stress is part of the picture, she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and find manageable steps forward.
She invites clients to take part in choosing goals and methods. The work is collaborative and paced to the person's comfort. Madison offers services in English and does not accept international clients.
Approaches used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and naming difficult emotions and patterns in relationships. It helps people notice how emotional responses shape interactions and aims to create different ways of relating to those feelings.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and moving through life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand how attachment needs affect behavior today. This approach can be helpful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madison will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress and needs change so the plan stays useful.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce commuting, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or provide options for people who prefer not to use video. Ask about specific session arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire.
