About Matthew
Matthew Federici is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and rebuild daily routines. He works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, addiction, depression, anger, and major life changes.

Matthew uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build consistent action.
Background and approach
Client-centered techniques guide conversations so each person’s experience shapes the plan. In session he mixes skill teaching with talking through what’s happening now. That can mean practicing coping skills, setting small goals, or testing new ways of responding to conflict and stress.
He also brings attachment-focused ideas when patterns from past relationships affect present life. Matthew has worked in counseling since 2016 and holds a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. His background includes general mental health and substance use settings, with experience supporting both adults and youth in outpatient and clinical environments.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People choose a subscription plan that can be canceled at any time, then complete a brief questionnaire to match and schedule sessions.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and problems like anger by teaching how to stay present while committing to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for stress, panic, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges because it breaks issues into concrete steps and exercises.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, then try methods that fit the person’s life. Sessions often combine skill practice, problem-solving, and reflection so approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging works well for short updates or brief coaching between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on achievable steps and skills.
