About Gabrielle
Dr. Gabrielle Maddux is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who uses Narrative-informed work alongside practical therapies. She helps people untangle difficult feelings tied to loss, addiction, trauma, and depression.
Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at building stronger communication and more self-acceptance. Clients meet someone who listens closely and asks clear questions. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.
That can mean sorting through grief, coping with stress, or finding new ways to handle anger and relationship strain.
Background and approach
She combines narrative ideas with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment approaches. That mix supports people to reframe troubling stories about themselves while trying out small behavior changes. Dialectical skills are used when emotion regulation and effective boundaries are needed.
Dr. Maddux has five years of counseling experience and holds the LPC credential, which is listed as LPC. She draws on that experience when helping people work through issues like parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, blended family challenges, and codependency.
Practical steps and simple homework often follow conversations in session. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Clients who want to explore career concerns, grief, bipolar mood challenges, or recovery from substance use will find structured conversations and real-world coping strategies.
The aim is clearer choices and stronger coping over time.

Online session options
How Narrative, ACT, and CBT Work Online
Dr. Maddux uses Narrative ideas to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Narrative work often focuses on separating the person from the problem and finding new, more helpful ways to describe life events. It can be useful for grief, identity shifts, and relationship struggles.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult feelings and commit to actions that match their values. ACT is often chosen for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments that change mood and day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the best approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and practice of skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, homework check-ins, or flexible scheduling during busy weeks.
