Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Matthew "Matt" Daues uses several practical approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it is useful for mood, panic, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation; mindfulness exercises and brief meditations can be practiced during sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify personal values and strengthen the motivation needed to make difficult changes, which can be especially helpful for substance use, ambivalence about treatment, or building sustainable habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Matt collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels practical and doable.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home or other convenient locations. These formats make scheduling easier, support continuity of care during life transitions, and let licensed professionals and therapists tailor sessions to individual routines and access needs.
