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, 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.

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.
