My name is Matt and I am a licensed social worker who works as a therapist in Michigan. I have been doing individual therapy for about 5 years now and group therapy involving domestic violence and relationships for about 10 years. I specialize in relationship issues, coping with anxiety, and building self-esteem. My main form of therapy is CBT - challenging our thoughts that lead to our depression and anxiety.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Easy to talk with and very helpful with understanding my concerns. Offers good advice and constructive ways to deal with issues.
Matt’s great! Very easy to talk to and he listens. Never feel judged or uncomfortable.
After my last therapist who offered no advice Matthew is amazing! He listens to me, allows me to ramble on because sometimes I just need to talk and offers ideas on how to help me or gives me possible solutions to my problems. I really enjoy seeing him every week.
10/10 He knows his stuff and helps me understand
Matt was very thoughtful and helped me navigate a challenging relationship.
Best therapist out there! You wont be disappointed.
Matt is a great therapist. He helps me look at things from a different perspective, and I have been making minor changes to improve my life—matt is overall a great counselor, very professional and kind.
Amazing dude, can't say enough. This man is helping me pick up the pieces in a healthy way.
