Madeline Reyes, LMHC

Madeline Reyes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with more than 23 years in the mental health field. She has held roles in forensic settings and program leadership, and she brings long-term clinical experience to sessions. Madeline speaks both English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable and clear.

Clients can expect a warm, respectful space where listening and straightforward feedback come first. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing to help people identify patterns and find workable steps forward. Sessions focus on practical changes rather than jargon-filled explanations.

Madeline has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also works with career questions, mood concerns such as bipolar, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and recovery from infidelity or separation.

Her background includes years as a forensic counselor and time serving as a program director at a major mental health hospital in Miami, which shaped her calm, organized approach to care. In sessions she offers active listening, respectful challenge, and clear suggestions for coping skills and behavior change.

People who want practical tools and a collaborative process often find her style helpful. She asks questions, helps set small goals, and works with each person to build sustainable steps toward better daily functioning.

How these approaches guide online work

Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as cornerstones of her approach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try small experiments to change them; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Motivational Interviewing focuses on the person's own reasons for change and builds motivation through guided conversation; it is helpful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and behavior shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your situation. Decisions about pace, focus, and what tools to use are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to meet after work or between commitments so therapy feels more practical and sustainable.
