About Matthew
Matthew Digges is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 11 years of clinical experience helping adults cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ concerns. He works with people who notice old family patterns, attachment struggles, or past hurts affecting their relationships and daily life. Matthew focuses on practical steps clients can use right away rather than abstract theory.
He uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions often include clear skills practice from cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches, along with acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and move toward them. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship roles from childhood keep repeating in adulthood.
In session Matthew talks through current problems and how they connect to earlier family experiences. He helps people name patterns like enmeshment, distance, or expectations learned as a child. From there he works on boundaries, communication skills, and ways to manage anxiety or low mood.
He also supports people facing life changes such as career shifts, grief, or caregiving strain. The work can include coaching-style planning for concrete steps as well as learning coping skills for intense emotions. He pays attention to how identity and community issues affect well-being.
People meet him for straightforward, goal-oriented sessions that aim to reduce immediate distress and build clearer choices over time. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site's process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How Matthew Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Matthew uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teach concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and eating or sleeping problems. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and step-by-step plans to change responses that cause distress.He also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early family roles and expectations shape current relationships. This work helps people recognize repeating dynamics and practice different ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients clarify personal values and take actions that fit those values even when emotions are difficult.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That choice can shift as progress is made.
