About Miles
Dr. Miles Matise uses client-centered and practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and relationship struggles. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Texas with 22 years of experience.
He focuses on improving daily functioning and supporting people facing life transitions and deeper emotional pain. His style emphasizes listening first and tailoring the work to each person. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thinking and behavior.
How Miles works
He also uses EMDR when trauma memories are a central concern, and Gottman-informed ideas when intimacy and relationship skills are part of the work. Dr. Matise also brings existential perspectives to help people find meaning and direction when life feels unsettled.
He supports those coping with aging, geriatric concerns, hospice, and end-of-life issues. He offers spiritually-attuned therapy when a client asks for it and may include prayer if that fits the client’s beliefs. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexible ways to stay in touch.
He accepts international clients who can participate in these formats. In sessions, the focus is on clear goals and practical steps. He helps people build coping skills, address compassion fatigue, and work toward healthier relationships and routines.
The approach is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting so the client can set the pace and goals. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk through stress, grief, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical tools and homework that are easy to share during video sessions or through messaging and helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.EMDR is a structured method for addressing traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger. When trauma is a focus, parts of EMDR can be guided effectively online with careful preparation and pacing. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step in the first few meetings. The therapist will discuss the options, explain what each approach involves, and together with the client choose what fits goals, comfort level, and preferences.
Online formats offer flexibility that can make regular work easier to maintain. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and shared exercises, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging lets clients send notes and reflections between sessions. These choices help people fit therapy into busy lives and sustain progress over time.
