Matthew Federici, LMHC

Matthew Federici is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life transitions. He works with adults and youth and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. His style is direct and grounded, with attention to what a person needs right now.

He draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered care. Sessions focus on building small skills for managing difficult feelings, improving relationships, and setting achievable goals. He also addresses issues like sleep, eating, trauma and abuse, anger, and ADHD-related challenges.

With ten years of experience, Matthew has worked in general mental health and substance use settings. That background informs his work with people coping with co-occurring concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and complicated grief. He also supports those facing career changes, parenting strain, and intimacy-related worries.

Matthew combines talk-based methods with practical strategies you can use between sessions. He uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when helpful to move people toward clearer choices and actions. People can expect a collaborative pace and concrete steps tailored to daily life.

Sessions reflect his Christian-informed perspective when relevant to a client's values. He practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English. To start, clients use the Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How his approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that started early and helps people change how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins on harder days. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills practice between meetings and written exercises that can be reviewed during sessions. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help people manage symptoms, build coping skills, and work toward clearer goals without promising specific outcomes.
