About Matthew
Matthew Walters is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, anger, and life transitions. He also focuses on self-esteem, career questions, grief, and compassion fatigue.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Matthew helps people talk through what is happening, identify unhelpful patterns, and practice different ways of responding. Conversations emphasize clarity and usable steps rather than abstract theory.
His background centers on several evidence-informed approaches. Matthew uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s goals and experiences. He integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot thoughts and behaviors that fuel trouble and to test new responses. Motivational Interviewing helps when change feels uncertain or motivation is low.
He has spent over a decade supporting people through midlife stress, workplace pressure, and relationship strain. That experience informs how he structures sessions, balancing listening with practical tasks to try between meetings.
In practice he often addresses family of origin issues, communication and control problems, codependency, and substance use concerns. He also works with fathers on role changes and caregiving stress. He accepts international clients and works in English.
How sessions work
How Matthew Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and experience. It means sessions begin with what matters to the person and the counselor reflects and clarifies those concerns. This approach helps when someone wants to work through feelings about family, role changes, or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In practical terms that means identifying thought patterns that escalate anger, testing different reactions, and practicing new habits between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger that shows up at work or home.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change. It uses guided conversation to strengthen a person's own reasons for trying something different, which can be helpful with addictions or when breaking long-standing patterns.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Matthew will work with each client to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing approaches and adjusting over time as progress and challenges appear.
