Madison Montes, LCSW, CSW

Madison Montes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an additional social work credential (CSW) who practices in Colorado and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She has worked in crisis response as well as outpatient settings offering individual, couples, and group therapy, supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, and major life transitions.

Her approach centers on the person and is trauma-informed, emphasizing a strong therapeutic relationship while acknowledging how past experiences shape thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Madison draws from evidence-based practices and tailors interventions to each client’s needs, goals, and strengths, helping clients develop coping skills, insight, and tools for meaningful change.

Madison is committed to creating an inclusive, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment for people of all identities and backgrounds. Clients often describe her as approachable, direct, and supportive. She works collaboratively rather than prescribing solutions, guiding clients as they build resilience, address addictions or mental health concerns, and move toward the life they want to create.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Madison integrates person-centered therapy and a trauma-informed approach into her online practice. Person-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, collaborative relationship and helping clients identify their own goals and strengths, which is useful for stress, self-esteem, and life changes. A trauma-informed approach recognizes the impact of past and recent traumatic experiences and emphasizes safety, pacing, and empowerment while addressing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Madison works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors evidence-based techniques to the individual and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access support from different locations within her licensure area, and continue care during transitions or periods of limited mobility. Licensed professionals can effectively deliver these approaches through remote formats while maintaining a supportive therapeutic relationship.
