About Matthew

Matthew Biermacher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and codependency-related patterns such as people-pleasing and trouble setting boundaries. He also addresses issues like self-esteem, career stress, parenting strain, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.

Matthew frames work around how problems developed and how they keep happening now. He uses solution-focused thinking and looks at systems - the connections between people, roles, and routines. Sessions aim to identify specific problem factors so a person can make practical changes toward what they want.

In the room he uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and existential ideas. That means attention to thoughts and behaviors, learning skills for emotional regulation, and talking about values and meaning when appropriate. He also draws on relationship work when needed, including elements from the Gottman Method.

People often come to him when they feel stuck in caretaking roles, repeatedly putting others first, or living around someone else’s moods or crises. He helps name patterns, practice clearer communication, and build stronger personal boundaries. Work can include short-term coaching-style plans or longer skills practice.

Matthew asks clients to consider how changes will fit into everyday life. He encourages active steps between sessions and checks progress regularly. To begin, clients use the online matching and scheduling process to set a first appointment.

How sessions work

Approaches used online and how they help

Matthew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a practical way to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps people who struggle with anxiety, low mood, or patterns of overgiving by teaching clear steps to change daily habits.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practice to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-informed skills teach breathing, grounding, and interpersonal techniques that reduce reactivity and make setting boundaries easier.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice may shift as progress is made and new challenges arise.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, have a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Discussing session length, frequency, and practical scheduling during the matching process helps fit therapy into everyday life.
