How Matt works
That variety has shaped an approach that draws from multiple methods to meet each person's needs. He uses a straightforward, no-nonsense style. He will challenge people to look honestly at patterns that get in the way.
At the same time he maintains respect and sensitivity while pushing for new awareness. Typical topics he helps people address include communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose. He also supports people on men’s issues, women’s issues, midlife transitions, and developing self-love.
Matt applies techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as part of an eclectic approach. Outside work he enjoys games, athletic activities, and volunteering at his church.

How CBT and DBT translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them alongside behavior. It is useful for problems like low self-esteem, relationship patterns, and managing anger by teaching practical skills for everyday situations.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It teaches concrete tools to manage strong emotions and improve interactions with others, which can be helpful for intense conflicts or recurring cycles of shame and guilt.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or a blend fits their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new needs emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use the format that feels most practical for each person.
