Matthew Kiefer, LPC, LCPC

Matthew Kiefer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on helping people facing complex stresses. He works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and challenges after trauma. He aims to create a respectful, encouraging space where people feel heard and able to take steps forward.

He describes his style as warm, interactive, and sometimes playful. Sessions blend practical skills with curiosity about how experiences shaped current reactions. That can mean learning coping skills, practicing new ways to communicate, or looking at patterns that keep problems repeating.

Matthew draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based work, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered methods. He adapts what he uses to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script. This makes it possible to focus on life changes, parenting concerns, ADHD, or recovery after trauma in ways that fit daily life.

He brings more than a decade of experience in counseling and youth mentoring and has worked with people who experienced emotional and physical abuse and early attachment difficulties. His training and background are used to shape sessions, not to label someone’s struggle.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. These skills can help with anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they affect trust and connection now, which can be useful after trauma or with parenting struggles.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, mixing skill work, reflective conversation, and practical problem solving.

Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, makes it easier to do brief check-ins, and allows practicing new skills between sessions in real-life situations. Talk with the therapist during the match process about how sessions can be scheduled to suit work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
