Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Matthew draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and narrative therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where clients lead the pace of change and explore personal values and goals - it is especially helpful for building self-esteem and processing emotional concerns. CBT is a practical, present-focused approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by exploring the stories they tell about their lives, which can open new perspectives on relationship issues, shame, and identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Matthew works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts techniques based on what is most helpful and remains open to revising the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access a licensed professional from varied locations, support ongoing work between sessions, and accommodate busy or changing routines while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
