About Gabrielle
Dr. Gabrielle Maddux is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety, and the stress of life changes. Her practice notes codependency and related issues like attachment concerns and trouble setting boundaries.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clear goals. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Conversations aim to make everyday choices feel more manageable.
She addresses relationship strain, communication problems, caregiver stress, and the aftermath of domestic violence or loss. Work may include learning to say no, tracking unhelpful thoughts, and practicing steady routines for mood and stress. The emphasis is on what people can do between sessions to see small changes.
Dr. Maddux also helps with career stress, parenting concerns, blended family issues, and substance use challenges. She attends to feelings like guilt, shame, abandonment, and anger while supporting clearer decision-making. Her background combines talking therapies with behavior-focused tools.
People who seek her out often want concrete steps and a straightforward process. The first few sessions typically look at immediate problems and practical coping strategies. From there, longer-term goals are set and adjusted as progress is made.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values even when emotions are strong, which can help with codependency patterns and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and problem habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on current needs, goals, and what feels practical. Sessions may mix approaches so people get both immediate tools and space to reflect on deeper patterns.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It can also let someone choose sessions that match their energy level, such as a phone check-in if video feels too taxing or a standard-length meeting when more time is needed.
