Mackenzie Pfeiffer, LPC

Mackenzie Pfeiffer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those facing addiction and the isolation that can come with life transitions and aging-related changes.

She draws on practical, skills-based methods to help people cope day to day. Sessions are described as open and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on talking through difficult feelings and finding workable steps forward. Mackenzie aims to help clients move toward a life they find more meaningful and satisfying.

Her background includes long experience in substance use prevention and addiction work, spanning more than two decades. That history shapes how she supports people dealing with drug and alcohol challenges and caregiver stress. She brings patience and steady guidance when people are grieving or adjusting to new roles.

Mackenzie uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, set achievable goals, and build daily habits that support well-being.

People who want to begin work are invited to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and Mackenzie works in English.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Mackenzie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify what matters most in their life. ACT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to major life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Mindfulness Therapy is part of her work too, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that can lessen rumination and help with grief and isolation. These short practices can be used between sessions to support daily coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to focus on.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when days are tight. Other practical benefits include easier scheduling around caregiving duties and the ability to use mindfulness and behavioral tools in real-life settings between meetings.
