About Matthew
Matthew Menard is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and parenting concerns. He brings 12 years of clinical experience and works to create a respectful, sensitive space for people to talk through difficult moments. Matthew emphasizes practical steps that fit each person's life and values.
He uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to tailor sessions to what a person needs. That can mean building skills to manage strong emotions, learning new ways to communicate, or finding steps to face painful memories. He helps people who are coping with grief, intimacy struggles, sleep or eating problems, anger, and changes in career or life circumstances.
Matthew also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, and complex concerns like attachment or body image. He works with people navigating adoption, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and other overlapping challenges. His style is direct but compassionate, focusing on clear goals and steady progress.
Clients are invited to shape the plan together. Sessions aim to balance practical tools with deeper understanding of patterns that keep problems going. Matthew encourages small, manageable changes that build toward better daily functioning and stronger relationships.
To begin, he asks people to describe their main concerns and goals so the initial steps match what they actually need. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort and supports each person through the process of change.
How Matthew’s approaches translate to online therapy
Matthew uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take small, value-driven steps even when emotions are hard. ACT often focuses on clarifying values and building actions that match them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's own perspective. This approach emphasizes empathy, listening, and letting the client guide the topics and pace of change. It can be useful for people who want a supportive place to make sense of difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. He checks in about what is and isn't helping and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove commuting time so therapy fits a work break. Licensed professionals are able to use these formats to deliver the same kinds of skill-building, problem-solving, and supportive conversation that happen in person.
