My name is Madeline Vanek (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Austin, TX with over 13 years of experience providing psychotherapy. I work with adults of all ages. Many of my clients struggle with negative and/or debilitating thoughts, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other serious mental illnesses, trauma, self-esteem issues, stress management, LGBTQIA issues/discrimination, life transitions, and maintaining healthy relationships.
In my work, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as person-centered and attachment-based modalities. I can help you recognize some of your underlying problem areas, identify and utilize your strengths, and adjust your thoughts and behaviors to see things differently.
I believe that every person is unique and treat each client as an individual by collaboratively developing a therapeutic plan that best fits your specific needs. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental environment with authenticity and unconditional positive regard. In my professional and personal life, I advocate for acceptance and social justice.
