About Matthew
Matthew Federici is a Florida LMHC with ten years of counseling experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and related concerns.
He uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. Matthew draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-based thinking, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps for change rather than jargon or long lectures.
Matthew has worked in both general mental health and substance use settings since 2016. That background informs how he helps people manage cravings, mood swings, and the stress that comes with big life changes. He also brings experience supporting people facing grief, chronic illness, and caregiving burdens.
People often come for help sorting out relationship patterns, blending households, or handling co-parenting stress. In conversation he will listen for patterns, offer practical experiments to try between meetings, and teach concrete coping tools to use in daily life.
Sessions reflect the client’s pace and goals. Matthew’s Christian perspective may inform how he frames values and meaning when clients raise those topics. He works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

How Matthew uses therapy approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns formed earlier in life and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy issues and communication struggles.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the original biography does not specify formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between meetings in their real-life routines. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so skills transfer to daily life.
