About Matthew

Matthew Digges is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with 11 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ concerns. He focuses on practical steps clients can use every day to feel steadier and more in control. Sessions aim to be a place to talk through painful moments and plan doable changes that fit real life.

He uses a calm, affirming style that respects each person’s story. He helps people name what matters to them and try small experiments to see what helps. Conversation is straightforward and rooted in real problems like sleep trouble, work stress, or low self-esteem.

His work covers many areas including trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and intimacy-related issues. He also addresses parenting stress, career shifts, ADHD, and challenges around body image and chronic health issues. Matthew helps people navigate relationship strain and the emotional fallout of adoption or abandonment.

Therapy draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and attachment-based ideas. He mixes these with client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy tools to match the person in front of him. The focus is on what a person wants to change and clear steps to get there.

People who choose Matthew can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with practical skills. He works to create steady progress through goals you set together. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete the brief matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It often involves practical homework and skill practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, and it helps people build safer, more trusting ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as therapy progresses, and small adjustments are welcome to keep the work useful.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also support regular homework review and skill practice between meetings. Check current session options on the site when you schedule to match the format to your day-to-day needs.
