About Michael
Michael Maddock is a licensed clinician with 15 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and major life changes. He holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credentials and provides care from Pennsylvania. Michael uses a straightforward, compassionate approach to help people feel steadier and clearer about next steps.
He focuses on practical strategies in sessions. That can mean spotting patterns that keep problems going, trying simple behavior changes, or practicing new ways to talk with others.
Background and approach
He blends tools from client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to keep things concrete and doable. Michael also draws on existential ideas when people are facing big life questions. That helps people name what matters and choose actions that fit their values.
He offers motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work when communication and connection are concerns. Across his career he has worked in a range of clinical settings and keeps up with developments in assessment and treatment through roles outside direct care.
He has provided telehealth services for several years and tailors choices to each person’s goals and pace. Sessions aim to be collaborative, respectful, and solution-oriented. People who reach out can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance, practical homework when useful, and a steady focus on small, measurable steps toward feeling better.

Approaches that guide online care and choice
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship. The therapist follows a person’s lead, reflects what matters to them, and helps people find their own solutions for stress, anger, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depressive patterns, or unhelpful reactions like frequent anger outbursts.
Existential Therapy helps when people face big questions about purpose, meaning, or identity. It supports examining values and choosing actions that align with what matters most in life.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches to try first and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That collaborative choice helps keep therapy relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging works well for ongoing reminders or shorter reflections. These options make it simpler to schedule consistent work and to try different formats as needs change.
