About Michael
Michael Maddock is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship problems, and lists codependency among his focus areas.
He offers practical, talk-based sessions that aim to clarify what feels unmanageable and to find small, concrete changes. Sessions look at patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing oneself in a relationship. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and the impacts of living around another person’s drinking or moods.
Michael draws on Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He also uses Existential ideas to discuss meaning, choice, and values in relationships. Motivational Interviewing can be part of the work when someone wants help deciding and committing to change.
Before clinical practice he completed a master’s degree from the University of Central Florida in 2011 and has worked in a range of settings across the lifespan. He also works in scientific and assessment roles, which keeps him connected to current psychiatric assessment tools and research-driven approaches.
He offers telehealth and has provided virtual sessions for several years. People who are considering therapy are invited to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to see how the approach fits their situation.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and focuses on understanding their experience in straightforward conversation. Online sessions using this approach prioritize listening, reflecting, and helping people describe what matters to them and what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a virtual setting looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often involves short exercises between sessions, tracking patterns, and trying concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Existential therapy brings attention to values, choices, and meaning. Online conversations can help someone weigh priorities, face difficult decisions, and name what matters in relationships and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and pace. That collaborative decision is revisited as goals change.
The biography states he has provided telehealth for several years. Confirm specific session options before booking to know whether sessions are by video or another format. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into weekday schedules, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. The online setting still supports focused, goal-driven work and practical exercises drawn from the approaches above.
