Mackenzie Pfeiffer, LPC

Mackenzie Pfeiffer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who has been licensed since 2010. She works with people facing stress and anxiety and supports those coping with grief and loss. Substance use prevention and addiction have been a central focus of her work for many years, and she brings that background to clients seeking recovery and healthier habits.

Mackenzie aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She collaborates with each person to identify practical coping strategies and to process difficult emotions in ways that feel manageable. Recognizing that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, she offers steady support and guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

Mackenzie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move them toward a meaningful life. ACT can be helpful for those coping with grief, major life changes, and ongoing stress.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT is effective for managing anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and many everyday coping challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and improve emotion regulation. Simple mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity to stress and support recovery from addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mackenzie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from different settings.
