About Matthew
Matthew Menard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of clinical work. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting issues. He speaks English and accepts international clients.
He uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Sessions emphasize identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new responses, and building skills for day-to-day challenges. Matthew keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so people leave with clear steps to try between meetings.
Matthew also draws on attachment-informed methods and client-centered techniques when relational patterns or caregiving concerns are central. He supports people dealing with depression, grief, self-esteem trouble, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and career stress. He can help with ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Additional areas he addresses include issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment or personality concerns, chronic illness and pain, body image, and nontraditional sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. He works with people facing comorbidity and codependency, and with caregivers experiencing stress.
Practical steps in sessions include structured skill practice, behavioral experiments, and conversational reflection. Matthew asks about immediate priorities and offers short-term strategies alongside longer-term work when needed.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Matthew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in session. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ideas. It is useful for anxiety, stress, sleep or eating problems and practical day-to-day difficulties. ACT emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept uncomfortable feelings while still moving toward meaningful goals, which helps with grief, chronic stress, and motivation.He also brings attachment-informed perspectives when relationship patterns are central, looking at how early bonds influence current connections. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist will help identify which methods fit the client’s goals and then adjust methods as work proceeds. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and short exercises to try between sessions.
