About Matthew
Matthew Federici is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with about 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who want practical help for anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship struggles. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at changing what gets in the way of day-to-day functioning.
Matthew often combines clear, skills-based methods with attention to how early attachments shape current reactions. That means clients learn ways to notice strong feelings, name them, and choose actions that match their values rather than reacting automatically. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to interrupt patterns like snapping or withdrawing.
He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered practices to help people live more in line with what matters to them. That can include working on communication, reducing rumination, and handling relational triggers that fuel anger or resentment. Matthew has experience in substance use and trauma-related care from community and clinical settings.
Clients with co-occurring concerns such as ADHD, grief, bipolar symptoms, chronic pain, or caregiver stress can address those matters alongside anger or mood problems. He offers practical tools for sleeping, eating, and daily coping when life changes pile up. His background includes work with both general mental health and substance use populations.
Matthew brings a faith-informed perspective when it is relevant to a client, and he conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients who want to begin fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the site's online options.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Matthew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in his clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps reduce anger-driven reactions and anxiety. DBT teaches concrete emotion-regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage intense feelings and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each client to see which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine skill training, values-based work from ACT, and client-centered conversations to set realistic steps forward.
