About Matthew
Matthew Federici is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and codependency. He also supports those dealing with trauma, mood symptoms, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges at work or in parenting.
Matthew has worked in counseling since 2016. He has experience in general mental health and substance use settings and has supported both adults and young people. His background includes work with trauma, grief, behavioral concerns, and illness-related stress.
In sessions he aims for a practical, down-to-earth style. He draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build small, usable skills. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters and move toward it.
Attachment-based and dialectical behavior ideas inform his work with relationships and intense emotions. Matthew blends approaches to match each person's needs, focusing on clear steps clients can try between sessions. He brings a humanistic, strengths-minded perspective and can include motivational techniques when substance use is a concern.
People who want straightforward guidance and a collaborative plan may find his approach helpful. To start, ask about session options and scheduling so arrangements match current needs and availability.
How his approaches translate to online work
Matthew commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify personal values and take small committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings.He also draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current connections. These approaches are chosen to match the client's goals and the issues they bring, and Matthew works collaboratively to figure out the best mix for each person.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current options before booking so arrangements match your needs. Many people find that remote sessions still allow focused skill practice, homework discussion, and steady progress toward goals.
