About Matthew
Matthew Menard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and parenting challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and Matthew accepts international clients.
He focuses on practical problem solving. That can mean talking through relationship patterns, practicing boundary skills, or learning tools to manage intense emotions. Matthew draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape sessions.
Matthew adapts how he works to each person's situation. Some people want short-term skills for anxiety and sleep. Others bring long-standing grief, codependency patterns, or issues tied to trauma and ask for deeper reflection. He helps people notice unhelpful habits and try small changes in daily life.
In sessions he listens and reflects back what he hears. Then he offers practices and experiments clients can use between meetings. That might include behavioral steps, mindfulness-based exercises, or communication practices to try with others.
People often come wanting relief from anger, low self-esteem, or career stress. Matthew also supports those coping with chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, or living with a partner's moods or substance issues. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How Matthew uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, codependency patterns, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, sleep problems, or anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and helps people try different ways of relating in close connections. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Matthew will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than insisting on one way of working. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified on the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice new skills between sessions when therapy fits more naturally into their week.Areas of focus
