About Matthew
Matthew Federici is a Florida LMHC with about 10 years of clinical experience. He has worked in general mental health and substance use settings since 2016 and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges.
He draws on a mix of practical therapies to address everyday struggles. Sessions focus on improving coping skills, managing difficult emotions, and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also supports people facing trauma, relationship concerns, sleeping and eating issues, and work or career stress.
Matthew uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centered practices. That means sessions can include values clarification, behavioral experiments, and attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. He also integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation is a priority.
People who turn to him often want straightforward tools and clear steps to try between sessions. He brings experience from both substance use treatment and broader mental health care into his work. He notes a Christian perspective in his practice, which may inform conversations when relevant.
Sessions are offered in English and operate from his Florida license. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats using the platform’s scheduling tools.
How sessions work
How Matthew Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses clear exercises to change patterns that maintain depression, anxiety, or problematic habits.Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current reactions and closeness with others. It can help when relationship patterns or intimacy concerns cause recurring conflict. Matthew draws from these approaches to build practical steps the client can try between sessions and to address parenting and family-related stress in grounded ways.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to choose techniques that match goals, preferences, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. That may mean starting with CBT skill practice, then adding ACT strategies or attachment-focused conversation as needed.
