About Matthew

Matthew Digges is an Ohio LPCC with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting strain, relationship struggles, and LGBT-related concerns.

He uses straightforward, person-focused sessions. Conversations tend to clarify what matters most and identify small, workable steps. Matthew aims to help people manage symptoms, repair daily routines, and cope with life changes without medical or diagnostic claims.

His approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts while committing to actions that reflect their values. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about close relationships and how past bonds affect current connections.

Sessions commonly cover sleep, eating, intimacy-related issues, anger, and difficulties with focus or attention. He also addresses areas such as addiction, career stress, caregiver strain, blended family concerns, and body image. The work is practical and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning.

Matthew frames therapy as a collaborative process. He listens for what the client wants to change, offers tools drawn from several approaches, and checks in on what is and isn’t working. People who choose him typically want clear strategies and steady support while they make changes.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing routines that keep problems going, which often helps with sleep, mood, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions, a useful lens for relationship stress and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Matthew treats the choice of approach as collaborative. He will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust what they do together based on what helps in real life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Discuss scheduling and practical needs with him when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your day-to-day life.
