About Matt
Matt draws on eight years of clinical work plus more than a decade as an educator. He has experience as an offenders counselor and in community mental health. That background informs a straightforward style that balances challenge with support.
His approach mixes techniques rather than sticking to a single method. Matt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when they fit the situation. He leans toward clear goals, practical skills, and noticing unhelpful thinking patterns.
In sessions he will point out patterns, offer concrete tools, and push for honest self-reflection. He aims to help people navigate relationship strain, intimacy issues, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose. He also supports work on communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and forgiveness.
Outside of practice he enjoys games, athletic activities, and volunteering at Life.Church. To begin, readers should confirm session times and scheduling details before booking.

How CBT and DBT ideas guide online work
Matt draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to help people address specific problems. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change behavior and mood. That approach can help with low self-esteem, negative self-talk, and relationship thinking patterns.DBT offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interactions. It teaches grounding skills, emotion regulation, and ways to tolerate distress without acting on it, which can be useful for anger and intense relationship moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Matt will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. He aims to balance practical tools with honest feedback so people can make steady progress.
The original biography did not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose a quieter time of day or avoid needing to be on camera if they prefer less visual contact.
