Mackenzie Pfeiffer, LPC

Mackenzie Pfeiffer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing grief, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. Mackenzie has long experience with addiction and substance use concerns and understands the strain that caregiving and aging-related issues can create.

She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused methods are used to build small, workable changes that fit daily life. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people are working through substance use or trying to make lasting behavior changes.

Mackenzie aims to create an open space for honest conversation without judgment. Sessions are direct and practical, with an emphasis on clear steps and skills clients can use between meetings. She encourages realistic goals and gradual progress rather than quick fixes.

With 13 years as a counselor and decades of experience related to addiction work, she brings steady, practical support to people coping with isolation, caregiver stress, and major life changes. Her style is collaborative - she helps people figure out what matters most and how to move toward it.

If you are caring for someone or managing changes tied to aging, addiction, or loss, Mackenzie focuses on realistic strategies to reduce day-to-day strain and build resilience. To begin, follow the site process and schedule according to availability.

How Mackenzie’s approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills to calm stress and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mackenzie works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then tries methods that match those needs. She adjusts techniques based on what is working and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.

Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, let people join from a quieter location, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets therapists share exercises and tools that you can use between sessions. If you are managing caregiving duties, aging concerns, addiction recovery, or grief, online sessions can help maintain continuity of care while you balance other responsibilities.
