I am LaCortney Maddox, a licensed clinical social worker in California, North Carolina, and South Carolina with over 13 years of experience working with individuals, families, and children in various settings including day treatment, child protective services, private practice, substance use, residential treatment, and the public school system.
My approach
My approach to therapy is a shared process where the client identifies their treatment goals and we work together collaboratively to achieve them. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and other modalities to assist clients in understanding their strengths, needs, and triggers for behaviors they are trying to improve. I'm passionate about working with others who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives.
My focus
I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues such as ADHD, anger management, anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting, self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, and stress. My clients are at the center of the therapeutic process as we partner to help them meet their goals.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, authentic and focused on creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to openly share and process their thoughts, feelings and experiences. I believe in empowering clients with knowledge and skills to manage their challenges more effectively.
My goals for you
My ultimate goals for you are to help you gain deeper self-understanding, develop more adaptive coping mechanisms, improve your relationships, and make meaningful, lasting changes to enhance your overall wellbeing and life satisfaction. I'm here to support and guide you on your journey of personal growth and healing.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, your background, current challenges, and goals. It's an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit to work together. I'll explain my approach and how the therapy process generally works. Most importantly, I want you to feel heard, supported, and confident that you are taking a positive step towards improving your mental health and quality of life.
