About Matthew

Matthew Digges is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and identity-related concerns. He works with individuals who are navigating trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, or the strain of caregiving and life changes. He brings 11 years of experience and aims to create an affirming, respectful space for honest conversation.

Matthew uses a straightforward, collaborative style. He listens first and helps clients set clear goals. Sessions focus on practical skills, better self-understanding, and steps people can try between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

His background covers many focus areas, including self-esteem, social anxiety, parenting and career stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and challenges tied to adoption and abandonment. He also has interest in aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and matters related to kink and alternative sexual culture.

Therapeutic methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Matthew blends these approaches to suit each person’s needs and goals rather than following a single method.

He practices in Ohio as an OH LPCC. Sessions are conducted in English. To get started, visitors follow the site's Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which can help with mood, sleep, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connection patterns and can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make regular practice of skills between sessions simpler, since notes and exercises are easier to reference. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to use online sessions alongside in-person care if that is being considered.
