Michael Maddock, LMHC, LPC

Michael Maddock is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the ripple effects of life changes. He works in plain, direct ways so people can start feeling steadier and more able to cope.

He draws on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions. He also uses Existential ideas to look at meaning and choice when life feels confusing. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on small, realistic steps toward change.

Michael’s training includes a master’s degree from the University of Central Florida earned in 2011. Over the years he has worked in many clinical settings and with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, trauma, and relationship struggles. He also works in roles that keep him connected to current assessment tools and treatment ideas.

His style is compassionate and collaborative. He aims to build a strong working relationship and to tailor goals to each person’s life. That means therapy moves at a pace the client can manage and focuses on skills and insights they can use between sessions.

Michael has experience offering telehealth for several years and supports people who live in Pennsylvania and beyond. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options to find what fits their needs.

How approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person’s needs. It emphasizes respect, empathy, and working at the client’s pace, which can help people feel heard in sessions whether they are meeting in person or online.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to see what helps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks big problems into manageable steps and skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Existential Therapy explores meaning, values, and choice when life feels uncertain. It can help people clarify what matters to them and make intentional decisions about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape what is tried first and how therapy changes over time.

Many people find online therapy helps fit counseling into a busy life. It can simplify scheduling, reduce travel time, and make it easier to continue care during life transitions. Because session formats are not fully listed in the biography, confirm the current online and in-person options before booking so you can pick what fits your routine.
