Madeline Libretti, LCSW

Madeline Libretti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of clinical experience supporting adults, families, women, and adolescents. She earned a Master of Social Work from New York University in 2014 and holds a separate master’s degree in Experimental Psychology from St. John’s University. Early in her career she worked within a New York City hospital system, primarily in the Maternal Child Health department, offering therapeutic support to pregnant and postpartum women and families with infants in the NICU. She also provided services across pediatrics, the general medical unit, and the emergency department, gaining experience with a wide range of medical and behavioral health needs.

More recently Madeline has worked in a primary care clinic setting, delivering short-term counseling to adults coping with issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, and recent medical diagnoses. Since the COVID-19 pandemic she has expanded her practice to include virtual mental health support and has facilitated a virtual support group focused on pandemic-related stressors.

Her therapeutic stance is collaborative, goal-oriented, and client-centered. She integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Problem-Solving Therapy to meet clients where they are and to teach practical coping skills. Madeline views therapy as a team effort aimed at helping individuals develop healthier habits, tools, and strategies to reach their goals, and she strives to create a comfortable, encouraging environment for that work.
