About Matthew

Matthew Walters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. He writes in a calm, straightforward way and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. His style is warm and steady, aimed at making conversations feel manageable even when things feel overwhelming.

He uses clear, goal-focused work to help people sort through grief, depression, and changes at home or work. Sessions often focus on improving communication and building small skills to reduce reactivity. He also supports people facing addiction, career crossroads, and struggles with self-worth.

Matthew draws on client-centered methods to listen first and follow what matters to each person. He mixes in cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking that feed anger and anxiety. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is deciding to change substance use or other habits.

He also uses narrative and solution-focused approaches to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves and create concrete next steps. That combination keeps work grounded in real life and short-term wins. He aims to help clients develop coping strategies they can use between sessions.

With 12 years of experience practicing in Pennsylvania, Matthew works with people who want straight talk and practical tools. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches used online and what they do

Client-centered therapy starts by listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and figure out which goals matter most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce anger and anxiety. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method to help people weigh change and build internal motivation for actions like cutting back on substances or shifting habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. That means testing techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to one fixed path.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time on workdays. Licensed professionals can also guide practical tools you can use between sessions, so therapy can feel useful in daily life.
