About Madeline
Madeline Gardiner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strains, and ADHD. She listens first and helps clients set small, clear goals to make daily life easier. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving functioning.
Madeline uses client-centered work to meet people where they are. She borrows tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and focus in moments of high emotion. She also includes EMDR when trauma memories are getting in the way of present-day life. For relationship concerns she draws on Gottman ideas to improve communication and reduce repeated fights.
Sessions combine skill teaching with guided conversation. Madeline brings three years of experience as an LPC in Texas. That time has included helping people through grief, life changes, career crossroads, and compassion fatigue.
She pays attention to culture and identity and adapts her work to fit each person’s situation. In therapy she aims to be warm, encouraging, and practical. People can expect focused sessions that produce concrete steps.
She supports momentum by tracking small wins and adjusting plans as needs change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience first. The therapist listens without judgment and tailors the work to what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful, flexible place to talk through everyday struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to change patterns that increase anxiety, depression, or impulsivity. EMDR is another option Madeline may use for people whose past traumatic memories are disrupting current life; it aims to reduce the intensity of those memories so they interfere less with daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madeline will discuss options with each person and decide together what methods fit their goals and comfort level. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques over time if something is not working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversations and skill practice, while phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
