About Matthew

Matthew Durdovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona with eight years of professional experience and a board-certified Master Addiction Counselor credential, reflecting specialized training in addiction treatment. He focuses on helping people address addictions, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and challenges with concentration and memory. Matthew also works with concerns such as ADHD, communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, process addictions like porn or gambling, and fostering self-love.

His therapeutic approach blends cognitive techniques that help clients examine and change unhelpful thinking patterns with humanistic methods that prioritize a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. In practice this means he helps clients reframe thoughts that interfere with recovery and growth while also centering the client experience and strengths. Matthew views each person as the expert of their own story and partners with them to identify and build on existing strengths. Seeking change requires courage, and he aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Remote Support

Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to problems like low self-esteem, addictive behaviors, and difficulty concentrating. These techniques help clients build more balanced thinking and practical coping skills to manage urges and improve motivation. Humanistic approaches emphasize the therapeutic relationship and personal strengths - the therapist listens, validates experience, and supports clients in discovering their own values and life purpose, which can be especially helpful for coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Matthew collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and sustainable.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access support from home or elsewhere. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, multiple ways to communicate between sessions, and the ability to continue consistent treatment when in-person meetings are not possible, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
