About Michael
Michael Maddock is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 15 years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
He trained at the University of Central Florida and completed his master’s degree in 2011. His work has spanned schools, outpatient clinics, and settings that included older adult care. That range gave him experience with many presenting problems and varied treatment needs.
In practice he emphasizes a collaborative approach. He helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tries different ways of responding. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and existential ideas to shape practical goals and concrete steps.
Michael also has experience with assessment and diagnostic evaluations and keeps current through his role as a Scientific Solutions Director. That role helps him stay familiar with psychiatric assessment tools and evidence-informed treatments without changing how he describes therapy sessions.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on small, measurable changes. People who want clear structure, tools to manage symptoms, and practical communication skills often seek this kind of work. To begin, the site matching process is used to arrange an initial appointment.
How Michael uses approaches in remote sessions
CBT is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions using CBT focus on concrete exercises, short experiments between meetings, and practical skills for anxiety, mood, and everyday coping. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s priorities and pacing, with the clinician listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own goals and next steps. Existential Therapy supports conversations about meaning, choices, and values when people face big life changes or questions about purpose.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michael will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The biography notes he has offered telehealth services for over five years, so remote work is part of his practice. Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus remains on clear goals, practice between appointments, and using tools that transfer into everyday life.
