About Madeline
Madeline Gardiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of post-licensure experience. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, and blended family challenges. Madeline also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, ADHD, and career-related stress.
Madeline uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's perspective central. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses. EMDR is part of her toolkit for processing trauma when appropriate.
Her work emphasizes practical steps. Sessions focus on identifying immediate problems, setting small goals, and trying exercises between meetings. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, and the strain caregivers face during transitions like separation or new household arrangements.
Madeline pays attention to cultural identity and how life circumstances shape choices. She blends several evidence-based methods rather than following a single manual. That allows sessions to shift toward skills, trauma processing, or relationship work depending on what the person needs.
People can expect straightforward conversations that lead to clear next steps. Madeline encourages small, measurable changes and checks progress as therapy continues. To begin, visitors are asked to use the online matching flow and schedule a first session.
How Madeline uses therapy methods online
Madeline combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR in ways that aim to be practical and focused. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations center on the person's experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses short exercises to build new habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps some people process upsetting memories through guided protocols when that approach fits their needs.Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at the presenting problems, goals, and comfort with different techniques. Plans can shift over time toward skills work, mindful practices, or trauma processing depending on progress and preference.

It also allows shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel time, and can reduce the need to rearrange daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between meetings.
