About Matthew

Matthew Walters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and life changes including blended family issues.

He focuses on practical conversations that help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, setting small goals, and weighing what change would look like in daily life. He uses straightforward questions rather than long lectures.

Matthew draws on several approaches to support coping and decision making. He uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to a person. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused practices help people clarify goals and build momentum. Narrative techniques are used to reframe stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. These methods are combined to fit a client's goals and pace.

He has worked with people facing workplace stress, midlife shifts, addiction concerns, and questions about intimacy and commitment. Matthew assists those dealing with family of origin problems, fatherhood issues, and the practical strains of blended household life. He aims to help people try small steps that improve how they handle daily challenges.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy starts with listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions let the therapist follow a client's lead, focus on immediate concerns, and clarify goals through conversation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes; this works well in remote sessions because homework and short practice tasks can be reviewed between meetings.

Matthew also uses motivational interviewing to help people resolve uncertainty about change. That approach is collaborative and helps people weigh their own reasons for change rather than being told what to do. Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work itself and he will help decide what fits best based on a client's goals, needs, and preferences.

Formats for online meetings are not specified here, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also use remote work to focus on practical tools you can try between meetings and to follow progress week to week.
