More about Matthew

  • 5 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

Throughout my 5 years of experience in mental health, I have developed multiple skills in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma, abuse, motivation issues, self esteem issues, confidence issues, psychosis, and depression at both the inpatient and outpatient levels of care. My goal as a therapist is to guide my clients on a journey in which they can feel understood and know that there is someone right beside them to empathize with what they are feeling. I hope to also educate my clients concerning numerous coping skills and mindsets in order to reduce the suffering that they endure while experiencing mental illness and aid them in overcoming the numerous challenges that come with it. Through the utilization of skills from DBT, CBT, Logotherapy, and Gestalt modalities, I feel that I am well-equipped to aid people in finding a life that is both calm and hopeful. I look forward to working with you all, and thank you for reaching out and taking this courageous step to engage mental health recovery!

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.
