About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Daues is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience. He holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices from Missouri and California listings. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, relationship struggles, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, and codependency-related patterns.
Matt keeps a relaxed, straightforward style in sessions. He listens first, then helps people set practical goals. He draws on problem-solving tools and short exercises rather than long lectures. Mindfulness and basic relaxation practices are offered in session when useful.
His approach mixes Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, how thoughts and behaviors affect daily life, and identifying values to guide choices. Motivational Interviewing also appears when someone is weighing change or feeling stuck.
Sessions often include simple skills practice. Matt may guide mindfulness or breathing work right in the appointment. He also uses solution-focused steps so people leave with small, testable next moves to try between sessions.
Over his career he has worked with mood disorders, compulsive behaviors, grief, and aging concerns. He pays attention to physical health, social and economic factors, and practical barriers that can get in the way of progress. The work aims to help people make clearer choices and manageable plans for change.
How sessions work
Approaches used for online sessions and practical fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on actions you can try even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practice is used to build attention and reduce reactivity through brief exercises that can be done in session.Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which approaches to use based on goals, daily life, and what feels most helpful. That means trying skills, checking what works, and adjusting plans together rather than following a fixed script.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online delivery can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also lets people try short check-ins or guided mindfulness without commuting. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and how the subscription is managed so you can pick a rhythm that fits everyday life.
