Madison Bentley is a licensed professional counselor based in Georgia who brings 21 years of clinical experience supporting children, adults and families. She holds a master’s degree in Psychology and Counseling from Troy University in Alabama and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia (license LPC005710). She is also National Board Certified and is a retired Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor as recognized by the Georgia licensure board.
Madison has served on community boards within the CSRA and is a member of the Licensed Professional Counseling Georgia Association (LPCGA). She offers individual, couples, group and family counseling to address mental health and substance use disorders, and she provides consultation to healthcare providers working with special populations such as LGBTQ+ individuals, supporting LGBTQ+ affirming care.
Her clinical work includes treatment for stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy and parenting concerns, anger management, self-esteem issues, career difficulties, bipolar disorder and coping with life changes. She also has training as a death doula, certified by Dr. Charlotte Newman Charfen, MD, and combines that training with clinical skills to support people with acute and chronic illness or those seeking end-of-life services, including working with their supports.
Madison brings extensive experience in emergency crisis services for people experiencing mental health and substance use problems. Her treatment style is compassionate and interactive, and she tailors her approach to each person’s needs. Therapeutic methods she uses include EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and a person-centered practice, and she collaborates with each individual to develop a treatment plan aligned with their goals.
Madison believes that many people hold their own answers and that thoughtful conversation with a skilled counselor can help lead to a more fulfilling life. She welcomes the opportunity to work with new clients.
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life transitions - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical practice have shown that virtual counseling works well for these kinds of issues.
One clear advantage is flexibility. People can connect with therapists in the format that fits their life best - video sessions, phone calls, live chat or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to keep regular appointments and maintain continuity of care.
All participating professionals are licensed, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy offers an adaptable way to access licensed professionals and keep moving forward with treatment goals.
