Kelliann Maddox, LMHC

Kelliann Maddox is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and Indiana with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and life changes. Kelliann also addresses concerns such as guilt and shame, isolation, caregiver stress, and problems related to aging and finances.

She trained in psychology and addiction counseling and completed post-master's studies in Adlerian and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. That background shaped years of work across psychiatric care, adolescent residential treatment, outpatient community mental health, and dual-diagnosis programs. Those settings taught her practical ways to help people manage hard emotions and complicated life events.

In sessions she focuses on helping people feel heard and understood while they sort through what is happening. She uses evidence-based techniques and conversational, goal-focused work to help clients identify strengths and values. Clients can expect clear discussion about patterns, coping skills, and small steps toward change.

Kelliann often works with people dealing with substance use and the ripple effects it creates in relationships, roles, and daily life. She also supports those facing mood disorders, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, and the disorientation that comes with major life transitions. The emphasis is on practical tools and decision-making rather than labels.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys equestrian sports, hiking, cycling, and reading. Those interests inform a straightforward, steady approach that values real-world coping and connection over jargon. If someone wants to address guilt, shame, or the fallout from addiction, she helps them sort options and plan next steps.
