About John

John Madson is a Minnesota licensed therapist with three years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, and trauma. As an LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - he draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients navigate challenges such as bipolar disorder, depression, grief, eating concerns, anger, and shifts in self-esteem. He also works with people facing LGBT-related issues, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, HIV/AIDS concerns, isolation and loneliness, paranoia, and social anxiety or phobia.

John emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and emotions and begin practical steps toward change. He frames the work as a collaborative process, helping people identify goals and build skills to cope with life changes and recurring patterns. Seeking help is described as an act of courage, and John aims to empower clients as they pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life. His practice centers on meeting each person where they are and tailoring evidence-informed strategies to their needs and circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Care and Online Therapy Options

John Madson uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and collaborative problem solving. One approach emphasizes skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and addictive behaviors, helping clients develop tools they can use in daily life. Another approach centers on supportive, trauma-aware care that helps people process difficult experiences and reduce their impact on mood and relationships. Both approaches rely on methods shown to help with issues such as depression, grief, and social anxiety, and are adapted to each person’s situation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. John works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, and to select techniques that fit their needs. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it possible to connect with licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity of care, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
