Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

In his practice, Matthew Rome commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with mindfulness-informed techniques, to address a range of concerns. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward a meaningful life - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and issues around life purpose. CBT centers on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, providing practical tools for managing mood, anxiety, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion skills that support emotion regulation and stress reduction.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Matthew collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Matthew is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote options make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from home, and choose the communication style that fits daily life while working toward meaningful change.
