About Maddisson
Maddisson Elizardo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strains, anger, and problems with self-esteem and motivation.
She helps people who are coping with grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and major life changes. Maddisson also lists support for LGBT issues, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes work around eating and body image issues, chronic illness or pain, and sexual health topics such as kink and BDSM when clients bring those concerns up.
Maddisson draws from evidence-informed methods to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, and a client-centered way of working. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, clearer thinking, and practical steps to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
Her background includes focused work with people managing addictions, trauma, and betrayal-related concerns. She has experience helping clients build coping skills and address patterns that maintain distress. The approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to values and meaningful life changes.
If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are delivered under her Texas LPC credential and are conducted in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and learning small, practical steps to act on those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with ongoing anger, anxiety, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies for managing mood, stress, and reactivity. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can be useful when anger or intense emotions cause problems in close relationships.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Maddisson will collaborate with the client to pick strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and daily demands. That means adjusting the focus over time and combining skills practice with reflection and problem solving.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel, or fit sessions into a workday. It also allows therapists and clients to practice skills between meetings and to bring examples from real life into sessions. Licensed professionals commonly adapt assignments and exercises so they are useful in everyday settings.
