About MATTHEW
MATTHEW SAMUELS is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD concerns, relationship challenges, and family-related issues. He practices from New Jersey and uses practical, down-to-earth language. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.
He aims to help clients feel more resilient and steady in day-to-day life. He draws on 14 years of experience working in varied settings. His training includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Jungian approaches.
Background and approach
Those methods are woven together depending on what fits each person. In practice that means talking through thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and using mindfulness skills to reduce stress. Matthew values collaboration.
He listens for what matters most and then helps shape a plan with concrete goals. He often gives homework that is short and doable so progress can be tracked between sessions. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on what will make life easier now.
He also pays attention to deeper life themes that show up again and again. Jungian ideas help name patterns and meanings that influence choices. That work can be paired with CBT and motivational interviewing to make change more achievable.
Matthew holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and pace. In session the therapist listens without judging and helps people find solutions that fit their life. This approach works well for clients who want support in discovering their own priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is practical for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and for managing ADHD-related habits. Sessions often include short exercises to try between meetings.
Matthew treats approach selection as a team effort. He talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggests which methods to try first. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what is actually helping.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family routines and to keep consistent progress. They also allow continuing care when schedules or travel make in-person visits difficult, while letting therapists focus on skill practice and real-life problem solving.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
