About Matthew

He has supported people with substance use and addiction, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, grief, and other challenges, emphasizing practical, evidence-informed tools while respecting each person's unique circumstances.
Matthew holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida - a professional license that authorizes him to provide clinical counseling services.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Matthew commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), alongside Motivational Interviewing when appropriate. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own goals and insights; it is useful for navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and building self-esteem. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a goal-directed, client-focused method that helps people find their own motivation for change and is often applied in work with addictions and behavioral shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Matthew works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care. For many people, these modalities increase accessibility and make it simpler to engage consistently with licensed professionals and therapists while pursuing meaningful change.
