Matthew Federici , LMHC

Matthew Federici is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has worked in professional counseling since 2016, bringing ten years of focused experience with both adult and youth populations. He has practiced across general mental health and substance use settings, combining practical, evidence-informed methods with a human-centered outlook to support people facing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, behavioral concerns, substance use, impulse-control challenges, trauma-related issues, and health-related or terminal concerns.

Matthew draws on a range of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral approaches, solutions-focused work, existential and humanistic perspectives, and motivational interviewing, to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. His background includes work with individual clients as well as family-oriented interventions, and he integrates faith-informed perspectives where appropriate, as his practice is Christian-based. As an LMHC, Matthew holds professional training and licensure to assess and treat mental health concerns, and he aims to help clients build practical skills, clarify values, and regain a sense of agency in daily life.

He emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and meets clients where they are, offering thoughtful, respectful support to navigate complex emotional and behavioral challenges while honoring each person’s beliefs and life experience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that align with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships shaped by early experiences, aiming to strengthen connection and address issues like abandonment, intimacy-related concerns, and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them, which is effective for mood disorders, anxiety, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Matthew works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best fit each person’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to reflect what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so clients can connect from their home, workplace, or on the go. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support without requiring travel, while still working with trained therapists who can tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
