About Matthew
Matthew Walters is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship problems, and family of origin issues. He also supports people facing grief, career strain, caregiving stress, and changes such as divorce or separation.
Matthew uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He helps people talk through difficult feelings, notice patterns that repeat from childhood, and try new ways of handling relationships. Sessions focus on realistic steps for managing mood, cravings, anger, or communication problems.
His approach blends Client-Centered work with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That means he listens first, then helps clients test thoughts and small behavior changes. He also draws on Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas to reframe problems and set short-term goals.
Matthew has particular experience with attachment issues, avoidant or dependent patterns, codependency, and blended family concerns. He often works with fathers dealing with role changes and with people trying to untangle old family expectations that affect current relationships.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. People leave with a plan they can try between meetings, and Matthew reviews progress over time. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How Matthew blends approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps people feel heard while deciding what changes matter most, useful for relationship concerns and family of origin patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It is practical for anxiety, depression, anger, and changing repetitive patterns rooted in early family roles.
Motivational Interviewing supports movement when someone feels stuck or unclear about change. It helps with addictions, commitment issues, and taking the next steps toward goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to choose which strategies to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means the plan can shift as progress is made.
