About Maddisson
Maddisson Elizardo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on family and parenting concerns as part of a broader practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs. Maddisson draws on seven years of professional experience as a guide in sessions.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools to help people manage symptoms and make changes that feel achievable. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what a person can handle right now. Her training includes methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, and Attachment-Based Therapy.
She also uses client-centered approaches and some Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT skills when those fit the goals. These tools are chosen to match what each person wants to work on. Maddisson has helped with addictions including substance and sexual behavior concerns, and supports work on motivation, confidence, and coping skills.
She is also attentive to issues like body image, chronic illness, aging concerns, and relationship communication. Her approach aims to combine practical strategies with attention to values and connection. In Texas-based practice, Maddisson offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
She asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire so scheduling can follow the therapist's availability.
How therapy approaches fit into online care
Maddisson uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. This method can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and motivation issues.She also brings Attachment-Based Therapy into work that focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections shape present interactions. That approach can help with communication, intimacy concerns, and building more supported relating.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and daily life. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to check in between meetings. For many people, remote formats allow consistent work on stress, parenting, relationship, and coping skills without long commutes.
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.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
