About Michael

Michael Maddock is a licensed clinician with 15 years of experience who helps people manage a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He holds credentials as an LMHC and an LPC and brings a collaborative, client-centered stance to therapy while tailoring evidence-informed techniques to each person's needs. He emphasizes building a strong therapeutic alliance as the starting point for progress and works with clients to set realistic, personalized goals.

His approach blends practical interventions with attention to meaning and personal values, drawing on cognitive behavioral tools alongside existential and motivational strategies. Michael has worked in varied clinical settings and maintains familiarity with contemporary assessment methods through a role as a Scientific Solutions Director, which helps him stay current with developments in psychiatric assessment and evidence-based practice.

He offers telehealth-based care and flexible session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences, aiming to make treatment accessible and focused on measurable steps toward improvement.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of work; this approach helps people who need validation, exploration of values, and collaborative goal-setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify a person's own reasons for change and strengthens commitment to actionable steps when motivation feels uncertain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor interventions from these approaches rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. That collaborative process allows methods to be adapted over time as progress is reviewed and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver client-centered, CBT-informed, and motivational techniques in ways that accommodate different communication styles and life demands, supporting steady progress without requiring travel.
