About MATTHEW
MATTHEW SAMUELS is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 14 years of experience. He helps people deal with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, and career-related strain. He also works with issues like intimacy, sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
He takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions start by identifying what is most disruptive in daily life. He uses practical tools and conversations to reduce reactivity and improve coping. The work tends to be direct and goal-oriented while allowing space to reflect on deeper patterns.
Matthew draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the person's perspective. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for skills people can practice between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help notice and slow intense feelings.
His training in Jungian ideas and Motivational Interviewing informs how he pays attention to underlying patterns and readiness for change. That background often shapes how he frames problems like attachment, abandonment, and family-of-origin issues. He may blend short-term skill work with deeper exploration when it fits the person's goals.
People who come to him for anger-related concerns often leave with clearer strategies for handling triggers. He aims to help clients recognize the thoughts and situations that escalate tension and to build more effective responses. Prospective clients in New Jersey should check session options before booking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities. Online sessions using this approach tend to start with the client's concerns and proceed at a comfortable pace, which helps with issues like relationship stress, grief, and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT often includes clear skill practice between sessions, such as breathing techniques, thought records, and behavior experiments that reduce reactivity and anger in daily situations.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing internal experiences without immediate reaction. In an online setting, this can mean short guided exercises or brief check-ins to help interrupt the build-up of anger or anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistent work on anger, stress, and other day-to-day challenges.
