About Madeline
Madeline Shiel is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in New Hampshire who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She blends straightforward talk with tools you can use between sessions. Her work centers on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, and coping with life changes.
She draws on client-centered therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them.
How Madeline works
Mindfulness techniques help people notice difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed. Madeline also uses motivational interviewing to support shifts in difficult habits and narrative therapy to help people rewrite personal stories that feel stuck. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps you can take in daily life.
This approach helps keep therapy practical and focused. With seven years of experience, she tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She aims to be sensitive and responsive while offering honest feedback and encouragement.
Many people come for concrete ways to manage worry, improve confidence, or navigate transitions. Madeline invites clients to work at a pace that feels right for them. She supports small, steady progress rather than quick fixes.
If you want a therapist who listens carefully and offers usable tools, she provides that combination within a collaborative relationship.

Blending practical approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your pace, reflects what you say, and helps you find your own solutions. It works well for people who want a respectful, collaborative space to talk through problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and finds small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and building concrete coping skills. Mindfulness adds simple attention practices to help people notice feelings without reacting immediately and can reduce rumination and distress.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide what fits your needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps sessions focused and relevant to your life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have face-to-face conversation when schedules and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be handy for shorter check-ins or when camera time is difficult. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, or for people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine.
