About Matthew
Matthew Digges is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 11 years of experience. He works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma and wants to help them find steady ground. Matthew aims to create a welcoming, affirming space for clients, including those with LGBTQ concerns, to talk through what matters most to them.
He uses practical therapy methods to help people notice patterns, learn new skills, and make choices that match their values. Sessions focus on building resilience, improving relationships, and managing symptoms like sleep or appetite changes. Matthew also helps with issues such as addiction, grief, anger, and career or life transitions.
His background includes work with attachment concerns, ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and adoption or foster care related issues. He pays attention to how past experiences shape current behavior and relationships. That perspective guides the way he and a client plan goals and steps forward.
Matthew combines elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He emphasizes a collaborative process where the client’s priorities steer the work. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
Cost varies with location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions based on what matters most. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and struggles around life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding to reduce distress and improve functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habit change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and coping under pressure.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and life context, and together they will try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems actually occur, so the work often feels directly relevant to daily life.
