About Maddisson
Maddisson Elizardo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people navigating grief, parenting stress, career shifts, and codependency patterns.
Maddisson focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens to what feels most pressing and breaks problems into manageable steps. Sessions often include talking through behavior patterns, testing small changes, and practicing skills that reduce overwhelm or compulsive coping.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports making values-based choices even when emotions are strong. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Maddisson pays attention to how past hurts affect present decisions. She also brings methods from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when someone needs tools for emotional regulation and crisis coping. Conversations are paced to fit what each person can handle in the moment.
People reach out for help with substance and sexual addiction, problems setting boundaries, low self-worth, and managing life changes. Sessions are in English and are offered within Texas. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. This can help with avoidance, people-pleasing, and coping with anxiety or loss.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often involves homework and small experiments to test new ways of responding to stress and cravings.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, including codependency or difficulty with intimacy. It can clarify why certain reactions feel automatic and offer steps to create healthier connections.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Maddisson will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative selection happens over the first few sessions and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a quieter setting that reduces interruptions. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing daily demands.
