Matthew Menard, LPC

Matthew Menard is a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, trauma and parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

Matthew prefers a straightforward, person-focused approach. He listens to how problems show up day to day and then uses practical strategies to reduce distress. He mixes methods that help people notice their thoughts and feelings, build new skills, and repair difficult patterns in relationships.

He commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters and take action toward those values. Attachment-based work is used when early relationship patterns affect how someone connects now.

Matthew often helps people manage anger that comes out as snapping, resentment, or sudden outbursts. He also supports people dealing with grief, career stress, ADHD-related struggles, body image and intimacy concerns. He adapts what happens in sessions to match the immediate problem and longer term goals.

Practical tools and clear steps are a feature of his work. Conversations cover specific skills, short exercises, and ways to try changes between sessions. To begin, a short intake and goal discussion set the first plan for therapy.
