About Matthew

Matthew Digges is an Ohio LPCC with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBT concerns, relationship strain, and many life transitions. People often contact him about stress, parenting challenges, blended family issues, and addiction-related concerns.

Matthew uses clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that cause pain and trying small, doable changes. He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches to map out options and build skills.

He pays attention to how past relationships affect present choices. That might mean looking at attachment patterns, beliefs about intimacy, or the way someone handles conflict. Work often includes exercises to notice thoughts and practice different responses in everyday moments.

For people in stephouseholds or navigating co-parenting with an ex, he helps sort competing loyalties and daily routines. He offers concrete strategies for communicating with partners and for managing stress around parenting and blended family transitions.

Matthew describes his role as collaborative. He and clients set goals together, track progress, and adjust approaches if something isn’t working. Sessions aim to leave people with tools they can use between meetings and clearer next steps for the week.

Approaches used in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action based on values rather than worry. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that maintain depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ties and can help with intimacy-related issues and communication struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying an ACT exercise one week and a CBT skill the next, then checking what felt helpful and adjusting the plan together.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the specific online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid commute time. Therapists often use the session to practice skills people can use between meetings and to set manageable goals that fit day-to-day life.
