About Michael

Michael Maddock is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and ADHD-related struggles. He uses a calm, straightforward style to talk through problems and set realistic goals.

He trained at the University of Central Florida and has worked in many clinical settings. That range of work exposed him to a wide mix of concerns, including trauma, bipolar disorder, eating issues, and anger.

Background and approach

He also has experience with assessment work and stays current with developments in psychiatric evaluation through a role as a Scientific Solutions Director. In sessions he focuses on building a strong working relationship first. He listens closely, helps identify patterns that cause trouble, and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful habits.

He adapts his approach to each person's situation rather than following one fixed method. Michael draws from several approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, the Gottman Method for relationship skills, and Motivational Interviewing when needed. He matches tools to the client's goals and comfort level to keep progress manageable and clear.

He has offered telehealth services for over five years and works with adults across a broad range of life stages and concerns. People who want straightforward, collaborative care that focuses on concrete steps often do well with his style.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and explore goals at their own pace rather than following a rigid plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches specific skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges that respond to structured strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts techniques as progress is made. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and useful.

Online therapy makes these approaches more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions offer a lower-bandwidth option, live chat supports shorter check-ins or reflection between sessions, and text-based messaging can keep momentum between meetings. These formats help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines without losing therapeutic focus.
