About Michael
Michael Maddock is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. He practices in Pennsylvania and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, anger, and coping with life changes.
He favors a straightforward, collaborative approach. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can use between visits. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered ideas to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns and try small experiments that change daily routines.
Michael also uses existential inquiry to address questions about values, meaning, and commitment. For relationship work he incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.
His background includes work across a range of clinical settings and roles, including work with older adults and people with complex diagnoses. He has experience with psychiatric assessment tools through his role as a Scientific Solutions Director, which keeps him connected to current assessment practices and research.
In sessions he lays out practical options, tracks progress, and adjusts plans as needed. He has offered telehealth services for several years and supports adults who want straightforward, skills-based help for anger, relationships, mood, and related concerns.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and working from the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions focus on the client’s concerns and aim to build a cooperative plan that fits their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Online CBT sessions often include tracking patterns, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together to reduce anger and anxiety.
Existential Therapy explores values, meaning, and the commitments that shape choices. It can help when anger links to deeper questions about direction, responsibility, or loss of purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, seeing what helps, and shifting course when needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not fully specified here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Confirm the exact session options offered so you can plan how therapy fits into your routine.
