About Madeline

Madeline Gardiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship and family conflict, depression, grief, anger, and life changes. Madeline uses clear, practical steps in sessions rather than long lectures. She keeps conversations direct and focused on what a person wants to change.

Madeline draws from client-centered methods to shape each session around the person's concerns and values. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active. Mindfulness practices appear in short exercises to help calm the body and reduce reactivity. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is part of her toolkit for people processing past trauma, used when appropriate.

Her work often includes setting simple, concrete goals and small steps to practice between meetings. For parenting and family issues she helps people sort practical problems and communication patterns that feed tension. With career or life-change stress she focuses on decision-making and coping strategies that can reduce overwhelm.

Madeline speaks English and practices in Texas. She frames sessions as collaborative, with the person directing priorities. She mentions acceptance of diverse sexual orientations and supports LGBT concerns alongside other relationship and identity work.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered work keeps the focus on the person's immediate goals and values. Online sessions using this approach mean conversations are shaped around what matters to the client, with the therapist checking in and adjusting plans as needed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) brings clear, practical tools for spotting thought patterns and testing new behaviors. In online meetings CBT often includes homework, short skill practice, and review of results between sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories; when used it involves structured recall and bilateral stimulation adapted for the online setting. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Madeline will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. She works with the client to choose methods that fit their situation and comfort level rather than sticking to one fixed plan. Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from appointments. Ask about the available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit daily life and the goals you set together.
