Matthew Federici, LMHC

Matthew Federici is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, and life transitions. He works with people facing grief, trauma, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also addresses sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, and attention differences like ADHD.

Matthew brings ten years of counseling experience in both general mental health and substance use settings. He uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns and priorities. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and manageable steps toward goals.

His background includes work with people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and attachment-related issues. He also supports people dealing with body image, commitment worries, and career-related stress. Matthew integrates a Christian perspective when clients prefer it, while keeping therapy focused on each person’s goals.

Matthew draws from several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-based work to address relationship patterns. Dialectical and client-centered methods guide emotional regulation and empathetic listening.

People who choose Matthew can expect practical tools, collaborative goal-setting, and steady problem-solving. To begin, prospective clients use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them. It emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that uphold problems. It often uses short exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections and trust. It can help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and try different approaches.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. This may mean trying a mix of techniques and checking in regularly to see what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since current formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when that’s helpful, and remove travel time. For many people, those practical benefits help them use skills learned in sessions more consistently and stay engaged with treatment.
