Matthew Digges, LPCC

Matthew Digges is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 11 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQ concerns. He focuses on practical steps that help someone feel more steady and able to handle daily demands.

Matthew uses a collaborative, straightforward style. Sessions aim to help people name what matters, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that build confidence. He creates a supportive space where clients can talk through painful memories, relationship struggles, or questions about identity.

His background includes a wide range of concerns such as self-esteem, social anxiety, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. He also helps with issues like parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and workplace burnout. Treatment draws on methods that emphasize values, skills practice, and understanding attachment patterns.

People often come for help with intimacy-related issues, body image, ADHD, and career transitions. He also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption or foster care histories, and complex trauma. The work is aimed at clearer choices and steadier daily functioning rather than quick fixes.

Matthew describes therapy as a team effort. He helps people identify goals and tries approaches that fit their life and temperament. To begin, he asks about concerns, priorities, and what would feel most helpful moving forward.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by encouraging small, meaningful changes and skills to live more in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. He listens to preferences and adjusts techniques so the plan makes sense for each person.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online meetings also make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and to schedule sessions around work or caregiving demands. The focus is on making therapy workable and relevant, so techniques practiced in sessions can be used in everyday life.
