Michael Maddock, LMHC, LPC

Michael Maddock is a licensed clinician who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and aging and geriatric issues. He holds both LMHC and LPC credentials and brings 15 years of experience to his work. He practices in Pennsylvania and offers services in English, and he accepts international clients.

He describes his style as compassionate and client-centered. Sessions focus on building a strong working relationship and setting practical goals. He draws from several approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and he incorporates Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client’s own priorities. He also draws on Existential ideas when people are wrestling with meaning, life changes, or major transitions.

His background includes clinical work across a wide range of settings since earning a master’s degree from the University of Central Florida in 2011. He has worked with many different concerns, including mood disorders, trauma, and relationship problems, and he has experience with psychiatric assessment tools through his scientific work.

Michael has provided telehealth services for over five years and aims to make remote sessions accessible and helpful. To get started, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead and prioritize what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for changing thought patterns and behaviors, which can be taught and practiced during remote sessions for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Existential Therapy helps people tackle big questions about meaning, loss, and change, and those conversations can work well in a virtual setting when someone needs space to reflect.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The profile notes that he has offered telehealth for more than five years. If you prefer online care, confirm the specific session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy day, helpful when travel is difficult, or useful for shorter check-ins that don’t require being on camera. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while working toward the goals you set with the therapist.
