More about Matthew

Hi, my name is Matt Daues and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of Missouri and California.

I help others with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and older adult issues. My counseling style is pretty laid back.

I take a holistic approach to helping individuals which means I take the whole person into consideration including emotional and physical health issues, and social-economic issues. I collaborate with individuals to help you make your own choices and develop your own goals to improved health. I use aspects of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy and relaxation techniques. Mindfulness and meditation exercises can even be done in session. My job as a therapist is to listen to you, help you develop goals and assist you in finding solutions and feeling better.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Matt Daues was very helpful and we were a very good match. I hope that I don’t have to contact him the future, but if I do, I am confident he could help me.

My therapist is thorough in his response time, & has good communication, puts in quality effort to slowly get to the root of the issue & help me find solutions for my current position in order to take the next step!! Making strides one day at a time.

J.O.·Jan 2022

Matt is such a great therapist he has been helping me with my anger problems I have and everything else

I.A.·Nov 2021

Matt Daues has been one of the few therapists that seems to understand my troubling problems with OCD, anxiety, and over intellectualizing things. It has been a breath of fresh air.

E.R.·Nov 2021

Matt has been a great addition to my weekly routine. He helps keep my grounded, gives me the capacity to take a step back, helps me to see things more clearly, and helps me reframe my approach to many things more simply. He listens well, and offers great perspective. I came to therapy as an overall happy and motivated person trying to learn myself better, and am doing just that. Life can throw any of us curveballs, and it has thrown me some within the time we've been working together. As the curveballs come, Matt helps me find a way to embrace them and to keep a consistent level of peace. He helps me to be an active participant in my life and to find consistent fulfillment. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with him, and highly recommend him to anyone who works well with someone who listens well while taking an active and objective role in the conversation.

K.E.·Nov 2021

M.E.·May 2021

Matt is awesome!

T.J.·May 2021

I enjoy talking with my counselor.

C.O.·May 2021

Matt is slowly helping me regain a sense of rationality that I thought I'd lost forever. His laid back temperament & positive attitude have reminded me what it's like to have someone care for my mental wellbeing, something I haven't felt in the longest. And at the same time, he's rationally helping me through my self destructive tendencies. I would recommend him to anyone who's intimidated by the thought of working through their mind, as he has helped me break through barriers that I hadn't known existed.
