About Matthew

How Matthew works
Matthew uses a mix of approaches to match what someone needs in the moment. Common topics he helps address include stress, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem, and identity matters related to LGBT experience. He also supports people dealing with sleep or eating concerns, parenting stresses, career transitions, and complex medical or caregiving challenges.
Matthew blends methods such as acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, and dialectical behavior strategies. That allows him to shift between exploring core patterns and practicing new behaviors during sessions. People who prefer straightforward, compassionate guidance often find this approach useful.
He aims to help clients notice what matters most, try small changes, and build habits that support long-term wellbeing. Matthew practices in Ohio and holds the LPCC credential.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward what matters. It helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical techniques to notice thoughts and stay engaged in meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people make different choices when old attachment habits cause pain. It can be useful for intimacy-related issues, relationship challenges, and healing from abandonment or early losses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; the therapist follows the client's lead and offers empathic reflection to help people find their own answers. This approach suits those who need space to make sense of feelings and build self-trust.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Matthew will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping sessions collaborative and goal-oriented.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexible ways to connect. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations, and text or chat supports quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules while still using the chosen therapeutic techniques.
