About Mackenzie
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 13 years of clinical experience, Mackenzie Pfeiffer focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, self-esteem, life changes, and depression. She also pays attention to aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, drug and alcohol addiction, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Mackenzie uses several practical therapy methods to help people manage problems and move forward.
Mackenzie emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical strategies. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing are used when someone needs help building motivation or managing strong feelings in the moment.
Her background includes more than two decades working on substance use prevention and addiction-related issues, and a Michigan counseling license since 2010. That experience informs how she approaches discussions about alcohol and drug use, relapse risk, and building supports for recovery.
Sessions focus on identifying immediate concerns and setting clear, achievable goals. Mackenzie offers skill-based tools for managing anxiety, grief, and day-to-day stress. She also supports people navigating caregiving roles and age-related changes.
People who choose her work through a process of direct conversation and planning. The therapist helps clients map small steps, practice new skills, and revisit progress over time. Practical problem solving and steady follow-up are central to her way of working.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match what matters to them. Online ACT sessions typically include exercises to clarify values and small behavioral steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns through practice. In virtual CBT, clients work on thought records, behavioral experiments, and short skill drills that can be done between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then decide collaboratively which methods to emphasize. That means trying practical tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it simpler to attend when mobility or caregiving duties limit leaving home. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help people maintain continuity of care while they practice new skills in day-to-day settings.
