About Matthew
Matthew Biermacher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on common life strains like stress, anxiety, relationship problems, depression, parenting and career concerns, and supports people within LGBT and family-related topics. He also addresses sleep issues, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
Matthew emphasizes building a trusting relationship first. He helps people understand where their difficulties began and what keeps them happening. That understanding guides practical choices and changes people can make in daily life.
He uses a solution-focused stance alongside a systems perspective. That means he looks at specific problem factors and how different parts of life connect. Sessions aim to identify manageable steps that produce real change rather than vague goals.
Clinical approaches Matthew draws on include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential work, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to address patterns in thinking, emotion regulation, communication, and meaning-making.
People who come to him can expect straightforward conversation and clear options to try between sessions. He frames work as practical and action-oriented while also discussing underlying patterns. To begin, he asks about current concerns and what a better day would look like, then develops concrete steps to move toward that.
How sessions work
Using CBT, DBT and mindfulness in online sessions
Matthew uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and suggests practical exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style skills are useful when strong emotions, anger, or relationship conflict make everyday life harder.
Mindfulness practices are included to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple exercises can be short and fit into daily routines, which some people find easier to maintain between appointments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and he adjusts plans as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use practices at home between meetings. Licensed professionals generally use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
