   About Madison

   Madison Marcotte Lippert is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people untangle stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a straightforward, team-based style to sessions. Madison works in Minnesota and offers therapy in English.

   Madison focuses on practical skills you can use between meetings. She draws on approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions aim to find what helps you make small, realistic changes that fit your life.

   Her background includes work in schools, hospitals, and private practice. That range of settings shaped a flexible approach to different rhythms and life demands. Madison learned resilience and teamwork playing Division I hockey, and she brings that collaborative mindset to her clinical work.

   In the first meetings she will listen, identify priorities, and set shared goals. Madison emphasizes strengths and practical coping strategies for worries about relationships, parenting, sleep, eating, work stress, grief, or trauma-related concerns. She also supports people facing addiction, ADHD, and identity-related stress.

   Clients can expect direct feedback, guided skill practice, and space to reflect. Madison treats the relationship as a working partnership where the client’s goals guide the plan. To start, she asks questions, clarifies what matters most, and helps build doable steps forward.

2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

   Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change through guided conversation and gentle questions. It is often useful when someone wants to build motivation for behavior shifts, like substance use changes, sleep habits, or career moves.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions. It teaches simple mindfulness and flexibility skills to reduce the power of painful thoughts while moving toward what matters.
   
   Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current bonds. It can help people improve communication, repair trust, and understand emotional responses in close relationships.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madison treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts tools based on a client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She will talk through options and try strategies together to find what fits.
   
   If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Madison about what will work best for you and how to structure sessions so they fit your life.
