Therapeutic approaches and online support

Matthew draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person's needs. ACT focuses on clarifying values and building committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings, which can help with stress, anxiety, and questions of life purpose. CBT examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical skills for reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and improving coping. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns that contribute to shame or isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Matthew works with clients to explore which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life, adjusting the plan as progress is made and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and schedules. These remote options support consistency, reduce logistical barriers, and allow therapy to integrate into busy lives while preserving a focused therapeutic relationship.
