About Gabrielle
Dr. Gabrielle Maddux is a Pennsylvania licensed professional counselor who helps people manage strong feelings and life changes. She focuses on practical tools that can lessen anger, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from addiction or trauma.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate and centers on what will make daily life easier. She uses a mix of talk and skill-building to address relationships, work stress, and parenting strain. Sessions often include ways to notice thoughts and feelings, calm intense emotions, and set clearer boundaries.
Background and approach
Gabrielle emphasizes short, usable strategies that people can try between sessions. Clients come for grief, caregiving stress, or challenges after separation and divorce. She also supports people managing mood disorders, substance concerns, or patterns like codependency and control issues.
Issues tied to attachment, abandonment, or blended family dynamics are also part of her caseload. Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, among others. That means she combines acceptance, practical behavior changes, and emotional regulation skills to build better routines and responses.
With five years of experience as an LPC, Dr. Maddux aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and find clearer ways to act under pressure. Sessions are collaborative: she listens, suggests doable practices, and adjusts plans to fit each person’s life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps people who feel stuck by focusing on what matters and building small steps toward that life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and depression because it teaches practical skills to reframe thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can help when strong emotions lead to conflict or impulsive choices.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to emphasize and when to introduce new skills.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or send quick updates. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into a busy schedule.
