About Gabrielle
Dr. Gabrielle Maddux uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania.
Her style is direct and compassionate, aiming to help people build skills they can use between sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and act on them even when feelings are hard.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centered techniques add emotion regulation and steady support in the work together. Clients can expect a collaborative process. Dr.
Maddux helps people set clear goals and practices small, practical steps toward them. Sessions focus on real problems like workplace stress, relationship struggles, caregiving strain, and the aftereffects of trauma. Her background includes five years of clinical practice in Pennsylvania and work with a range of concerns such as substance use, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue.
She integrates different methods to fit each person’s needs rather than relying on a single tool. Dr. Maddux speaks English and offers sessions through several online formats.
People begin by completing a brief questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their availability. The aim is steady progress and clearer ways to cope with life’s changes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Maddux often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences stop them from living according to their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to test what works.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. During early sessions she will listen, review goals, and recommend which methods to try first. Clients can expect adjustments over time so the plan stays aligned with needs and preferences.
Online therapy is provided via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit work on coping skills and problem solving into busy schedules. The range of formats also supports different comfort levels, whether someone prefers real-time conversation or short written check-ins between sessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
