Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Matthew integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic partnership where the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own goals and strengths - this approach is helpful for people seeking a supportive space to explore emotions and life changes. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to shift them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build internal motivation - it is frequently applied when addressing addictions and ambivalence about recovery.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matthew approaches treatment collaboratively, assessing a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting methods over time so the plan fits the individual. Clients are invited to participate in choosing strategies and pacing.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists from different locations.
