Madeline Libretti, LCSW
About me
Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Madeline Berry and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing therapy for wide variety of issues and populations for approximately 5 years. I graduated from New York University in 2014 with a Master's in Social Work, and I also hold a Master's in Experimental Psychology from St. John's University. At the beginning of my career, I worked for a NYC hospital system providing mental health support and therapy to adults, families, women, and teenagers. I worked mostly in the Maternal Child Health Department of the hospital, providing therapy and support to women who were pregnant, post-partum, families who had babies in the NICU, etc; however, often assisted in pediatrics, the general medical unit, and the emergency department. For the last two years, I have worked in a primary care clinic, providing short-term counseling to adults who struggle with, but not limited to stress, depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, new medical diagnosis', etc. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, I have had the opportunity to provide adults with mental health support and counseling virtually, and also hosted a virtual support group for those struggling with the effects of the pandemic.
I would describe my approach as collaborative, goal-oriented, and client-centered. I use a wide-variety of therapeutic methods and modules, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Problem-solving Therapy to meet the client where they are, and to also provide them with the tools and coping skills that work best for them. I believe that therapy is a team approach, between a therapist and their client, to help the client reach their goals and develop healthier skills, tools, and habits.
Reaching out for help can be scary and leave us feeling vulnerable. I hope to help you feel comfortable, and confident to work toward your goals, as well as feel supported through the process. I look forward to working with you!

Madeline is really patient, and compassionate. She’s been super helpful assisting me through my thoughts (some which can be negative), and offering alternative modes of action relative best practices. I’ve noticed considerable improvements in my mood, and attitudes towards daily life/ activities. I thank her immensely for helping me on this journey, and wish to continue our sessions with attention/ discipline.

Madeline Berry is very attentive to the conversations that you have with her. It really is a partnership where you can bounce ideas off of her and she will give you feedback. She starts every session right on time. She is encouraging and will make you feel empowered.

Madeline has been such an incredible resource. I feel like she is my partner in this process and truly is guiding me in a team effort. I’ve never felt as if I couldn’t lean on her for support and guidance which is so important. I’m beyond grateful I’ve found her because she has helped me so much.
