About Madelyn
Madelyn Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to self-esteem and motivation. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can bring difficult thoughts and feelings. Madelyn describes counseling as a partnership that helps people take small, practical steps toward a more satisfying life.
She uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change.
Background and approach
Madelyn draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Her approach also includes acceptance-based ideas and a client-centered stance. That means she supports people in noticing painful feelings without forcing quick fixes, while also honoring each person’s goals.
For some clients, skills from dialectical behavior work are added to manage strong emotions and improve coping. Madelyn has four years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns. She can support people facing life transitions, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and issues around identity and sexual expression.
Practical tools, short-term planning, and steady encouragement are common parts of her sessions. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by several formats. The focus is on helping people build clearer choices and manageable steps toward the changes they want.
Approaches for online support and practical skill building
Madelyn often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, low motivation, and life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT provides concrete steps to test beliefs and reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or trouble sleeping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Madelyn will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and more personal conversations. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, focused check-ins and flexible communication during the week. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to use the format that works best for daily life.
