About Matthew
Matthew Walters, LPC, helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or easily angered. He focuses on clear steps people can try right away. He listens without judgement and helps people name what they are feeling.

He uses straightforward conversation to uncover patterns that keep problems going. Matthew blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas to tackle thoughts and actions that feed anger and anxiety.
Background and approach
He also uses motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. Matthew has 12 years of clinical experience working in Pennsylvania. He often helps people manage workplace stress, midlife shifts, and the emotional fallout of separation or family strain.
He pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin patterns that affect how people relate now. Sessions move at a practical pace. People will talk about what matters, try new ways of coping, and agree on small steps between meetings.
This approach is useful for breathing room during high stress, rebuilding trust in relationships, or cutting through cycles of avoidance and anger. He offers multiple online options so people can choose what fits their life. Matthew welcomes English-speaking clients from within and outside the United States who want focused, work-oriented therapy and coaching.

Approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person first. The therapist listens closely and helps people decide what matters to them. This approach helps when someone needs space to understand emotions, including anger and grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks down unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and reactivity. This can help with anger, stress, and mood concerns.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change but feel stuck. It uses respectful questions to find personal reasons for change and build momentum toward goals like reducing substance use or improving relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Matthew will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and pace. Together they set short-term targets and revise them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity across locations.
