Madison Brawley , LPC, LCMHC

Madison Brawley is a licensed counselor with six years of clinical experience who supports people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and challenges to self-esteem. She holds the credentials LPC and LCMHC - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LCMHC stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - and is licensed to practice in Missouri, Utah, and Idaho. Madison centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and designs treatment plans and session dialogue to match each person’s distinct needs and goals.

She has focused training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, and brings that skill to clients coping with trauma and related symptoms. Madison also has experience addressing issues commonly faced by women and by members of LGBTQ+ communities, and she combines clinical techniques with practical coping strategies to support recovery and resilience. She recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and affirms the decision to seek help as an important first step.

For clients who prefer live sessions, Madison has limited live availability on Friday afternoons; if that schedule does not fit a client’s needs, she asks that they rematch with another therapist. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and individualized care as clients move toward greater stability and wellbeing.

EMDR and Tailored Online Therapeutic Support

Madison uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - which is a structured approach that helps people process distressing memories and the emotions tied to them; it is often used with trauma, abuse, and related anxiety or grief. She also emphasizes a client-centered, individualized approach that adapts talk-based strategies and coping skills to each person’s situation, helping with issues such as stress, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Madison works with people to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts treatment plans as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These formats can increase access to care and allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of treatment while working toward meaningful improvements.
