About Matthew
Matthew Walters is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He offers a calm, warm presence and helps clients talk through sticky situations like relationship patterns, grief, and struggles with addiction. Sessions aim to clarify problems and find steps that feel doable for everyday life.
Matthew uses clear language and steady guidance so conversations stay focused and useful. He blends familiar talk therapy with tools that target thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change outcomes. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by exploring values and reasons to move forward. Client-Centered techniques create space for a person to lead the pace and topics of work.
Matthew brings 12 years of experience and holds an LPC license in Pennsylvania, license number PA LPC PC010160. That background informs his practical approach to common concerns like communication problems, family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and challenges around intimacy and commitment. He also supports work-related stress and questions about life purpose.
Sessions include short-term coaching-style work and longer conversations aimed at deeper understanding. Many clients find value in learning new ways to communicate, set boundaries, and manage strong emotions. Matthew strives to help people build more dependable coping skills and clearer next steps.
He offers services in English and is open to international clients. Therapy can be arranged through a simple online matching and scheduling process that connects clients with his practice.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Matthew uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and try small experiments that change feelings and behavior. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and reactions to stress. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to gently explore ambivalence about change and to build personal reasons for moving forward. That method fits work around addictions, lifestyle shifts, and commitment to new habits.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Matthew listens to a person’s goals and preferences, then suggests methods that match those aims. He often blends techniques across sessions and checks in so the plan can change as progress unfolds.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. These formats let people fit conversations into busy days, revisit messages between sessions, and choose the level of real-time contact that feels best. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent support when in-person meetings are not practical.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
