About Maddisson
Maddisson Elizardo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues around identity and intimacy.
Maddisson focuses on practical skills and steady conversation. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions often look at coping skills, thinking patterns, and how relationships affect daily life.
Her background includes years helping people with substance and sexual behavior concerns, grief, parenting strains, and career stress. She also supports those dealing with body image, chronic illness, co-occurring conditions, and anger or jealousy. Her work has included clients navigating immigration issues and feelings of isolation.
Maddisson emphasizes respectful, sensitive interaction and adapts how she talks and plans care to fit each person. She has focused experience with LGBTQ concerns, intimacy-related issues, and betrayal-related trauma work as part of ongoing professional development.
People who come to her typically want clear tools for anxiety, help with addictive patterns, or new ways to manage relationships and life changes. To start, she asks about current challenges, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maddisson uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and values they want to live by, then take small actions toward those values. ACT often helps with anxiety, low motivation, and life changes.She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches skills to change thinking and behavior. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right method is part of therapy. Maddisson will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy moves forward.
