It was the first time that I had counseling and I was very lucky to have had Matt as a counselor. I was only planning to try counseling out but already after the first sessions I noticed how beneficial counseling was and I continued for a few months. I would recommend counseling and I totally recommend the counseling sessions with Matt. He is very insightful, thoughtful and always grasps the issue at hand very fast. He is very professional but at the same time it is very easy to talk to Matt and his insights very understandable and practical. Thank you very much!

More about Matthew
- 10 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I have been in the mental health industry since 2001, working in psychiatric hospitals and the private practice setting. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have a deep theoretical understanding but approach psychotherapy in a humorous, down to earth way. The growth and change process is difficult, but I truly believe that it can be fun and enjoyable as well.
My graduate program was started by the founder of Humanistic Psychology, Abraham Maslow and had a humanistic and transpersonal orientation. My education certainly didn't stop after graduate school. I am passionate about this field and am constantly learning new approaches and deepening my understanding of the therapeutic process. I have devoted a lot of time and energy to becoming a better therapist. I am certain I can help you through your current struggles.
I am a Certified IMAGO relationship therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and North Carolina. My specific areas of professional experience have been working at psychiatric and addiction hospitals. It was their I worked with individuals struggling from a range of severe psychiatric and addiction issues. I also have extensive experience practicing individual, couples, and family therapy in my private practice.
My areas of expertise included working with issues surrounding emerging adulthood, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, autism spectrum disorders, spirituality, addiction, finding meaning in life, and dream interpretation.
My theoretical base is the person-centered approach of Carl Rogers. However, I have a truly eclectic approach as I embrace cognitive-behavioral, psycho-dynamic, focusing, relational, and spiritual approaches.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Matt has been very insightful and encouraging. I also like that he is quite professional but not stiff... Giving off a warm, safe and friendly vibe. Thank you and looking forward to continue these sessions comfortably.
Matt has been extremely helpful and supportive and I wish to go on with him counseling me for a while. His reflection on my situation is absolutely on point and helps me reconsider my actions and thoughts and become more aware of myself and relationships.
Matt is an amazing counsellor. Very patient, good expertise and ideas and very respectful and timely. He genuinely cares and is tiny first long term counsellor and I play on keeping him for the long haul! He has really helped improve my mood, outlook and realize a lot of my problems are not as bad as I think and are workable
I've been working with Matt for quite some time now and I owe both him and the BetterHelp service a lot. Both have been fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to work on themselves. Matt provides a fantastically supportive environment using the tools of his wisdom, experience, humor and thorough groundedness.
Matt has been absolutely instrumental in my road to recovery and my continued health and well being. There are no words to express my gratitude properly. Thank you Matt.
Matt is a wonderful, intelligent and open-minded therapist who has helped me immensely. I appreciate his straight-talking style and the care he takes in his writing. The quality and length of his messages are particularly appreciated.
Matt is a great match for me. This is my first time having counseling and did not expect that this could go so smoothly. I see the issue and solution by letting him explore further into my thoughts. He respects me and the pace of conversation is exactly like its needed. Could not have been happier than this. I am glad I have finally started.
I am appreciative that I don't need to go into an office, or be on someone else's schedule.
Matt has a deep bank of personal experiences that help him relate to a myriad of issues. He's been active, understanding, knowledgeable and most importantly effective. 10/10
