About Gabrielle
Dr. Gabrielle Maddux is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anger, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and stress. Her focus includes relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and coping with big life changes.
Maddux uses straightforward therapy methods to help people notice patterns that make anger and frustration worse. She encourages clear communication and practical strategies for moments when emotions run high. Clients learn ways to respond to triggers, set boundaries, and rebuild trust with others.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based choices when reactions feel automatic.
Sessions also address related concerns such as codependency, control issues, and caregiver stress. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, abandonment wounds, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence. Practical tools for parenting strain and blended family difficulties are part of the offering.
Maddux describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are clear and concrete. She guides clients through skill-building, role practice, and problem solving. People leave sessions with small, usable steps they can try between appointments.

ACT can help people stop getting stuck in anger cycles and focus on actions that align with what they care about.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, try practical techniques, and adjust methods as needed. Sessions are interactive and often include skill practice, planning for real-life situations, and short between-session exercises.
