Madeline Razavi

Madeline Razavi is a California licensed clinical social worker with eight years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and anger. Madeline aims to be warm and nonjudgmental in sessions so clients can begin to move forward.

She uses short-term goals to guide the work. In sessions she helps people name what matters, try small changes, and notice what helps. That practical focus is meant to reduce overwhelm and give clients clear next steps between meetings.

Madeline describes her style as empathetic and respectful. She listens closely and helps people explore feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and anger. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and workplace pressures.

Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which she uses to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also helps clients reflect on life purpose, self-love, forgiveness, and control issues when those topics come up.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Madeline works with each person to set goals and track progress in a way that fits their life. People who want straightforward, compassionate support around women’s issues may find her approach a good match.

How CBT shapes online work and finding the right fit

Madeline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or anger and try small behavior changes to test new beliefs. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills people can use between sessions to manage stress, worry, or workplace difficulties.

Her approach emphasizes clear goals and collaboration. She will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and preferences. Figuring out the best approach is part of the therapy process and is done together over time.

The biography does not list which online session formats she offers, so confirm available formats before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce time spent traveling, and let people check in from wherever they are at the moment. It can also allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints when a brief check-in would be helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT tools to work well in remote sessions, including worksheets, thought records, and behavioral experiments that clients can use between meetings.
