More about Madonna
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LISW-CP
I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in South Carolina with over 8 years of experience working first as a child protective social worker and more currently as a substance abuse clinician. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, and substance abuse. I have also helped many individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm, empathetic, client-centered, and strengths-based. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, while avoiding stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, internal family systems, trauma-focused and solution-focused therapy modalities. I will tailor our therapeutic relationship to meet your unique and specific needs. We will work to develop relevant and achievable goals to support your needs and help move you towards change. Through self-reflection, therapy can develop your capacity to be more self-aware, challenge negative thoughts and build towards a more safe and healthy life functioning.
I believe that prioritizing one's mental health is an investment in self, and commend you for being courageous enough to make that investment in yourself.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
