About Michael

Michael Maddock is a dual-licensed clinician (LMHC, LPC) with 15 years of experience guiding people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

He practices from Pennsylvania and has worked in varied clinical settings, supporting concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, eating and body image difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other related struggles.

His clinical work has included assessment and therapeutic support across many presenting problems. His counseling style emphasizes collaboration and a client-centered stance that encourages practical, goal-focused progress.

Michael integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs, aiming to build a strong therapeutic alliance and identify measurable steps forward. He has also engaged with assessment and scientific work that keeps him informed about current psychiatric evaluation tools and evidence-informed interventions.

Michael offers multiple remote session formats and accepts international clients, making his services accessible to people in different locations. Prospective clients begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability, with sessions arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Integrating evidence-informed methods into online care

Michael frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. He also applies a Client-Centered approach that emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their values and goals at their own pace. These methods are adapted for remote work so practical skills and reflective exploration can continue without interruption.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist will work with clients to determine which techniques and goals fit best with their needs and preferences. Treatment plans are personalized and can evolve over time as progress is observed and priorities shift, with the client’s input guiding adjustments.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing busy schedules or living at a distance. These formats allow for regular contact, continuity of care, and different ways of engaging with therapeutic exercises, making it easier to practice skills between sessions and maintain momentum toward stated goals.
