Matthew Federici , LMHC

Matthew Federici is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has worked in professional counseling since 2016. He has supported both adult and youth populations in general mental health and substance use settings, bringing a range of therapeutic perspectives to each case.

He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, solutions-focused strategies, existential and humanistic approaches, individual therapy, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to the needs of each person. Matthew has experience addressing depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, grief and loss, substance use, impulse-control difficulties, trauma-related conditions, and health-related or terminal concerns. His work blends practical skill-building with attention to meaning and values to help clients manage symptoms and navigate challenging life circumstances.

Matthew's practice is Christian-based, and he integrates that orientation with evidence-informed techniques when it aligns with a client's beliefs and goals. As an LMHC, he holds a license to provide mental health counseling and applies professional standards to support clients through recovery, coping, and personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to acknowledge difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward what matters. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, and persistent patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relational patterns and current attachment needs to improve interpersonal connection and emotional regulation. It is useful for intimacy-related concerns, attachment issues, and difficulties rooted in abandonment or relational loss.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship to foster self-exploration and growth. It supports clients navigating grief, life transitions, identity questions, and the development of self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Matthew works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and greater access to care. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent support while making it easier for clients to schedule appointments and continue work during life changes.
