About Madeline
Madeline Gardiner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, mood shifts, trauma and grief, and a range of other life stressors.
Background and approach
She brings three years of professional experience to her practice and draws on approaches that help clients build practical skills, clarify goals, and foster healthier daily routines. Her way of working is collaborative and person-centered, meeting clients where they are and shaping treatment around each individual's needs and cultural context.
Madeline integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices alongside trauma-informed techniques such as EMDR when appropriate, aiming to combine evidence-based tools with a warm, encouraging therapeutic presence. She emphasizes concrete steps and skill-building to address problems like communication difficulties, caregiving stress, intimacy and sexual concerns, career questions, and symptoms related to bipolar and ADHD.
Madeline offers services in English from Texas and provides sessions through a variety of online formats. She frames therapy as a partnership focused on practical progress and personal insight, supporting clients as they navigate life transitions, grief, anger, and the everyday demands that affect wellbeing.
Approaches That Guide Online Therapy
Madeline commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as part of her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while teaching practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with focus or motivation. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided processing to help reduce distress tied to past traumatic memories and can be helpful for people struggling with trauma and abuse or related symptoms.
She also uses client-centered principles that emphasize empathy, active listening, and tailoring the pace and goals of therapy to each person's needs. Determining which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client work together to choose methods that fit the client's concerns, preferences, and treatment goals rather than following a single prescribed path.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home. These formats support ongoing work on skill-building, coping strategies, relationship communication, trauma processing, and life transitions while allowing clients to engage in ways that match their comfort and availability.
