About Matthew
Matthew Federici offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, substance use, grief, or big life changes. He speaks plainly and focuses on what a person wants to change. Matthew is a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - with ten years of experience.
He helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then tries new ways of responding. Sessions often include talking through problems, building coping skills, and practicing small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Matthew uses approaches that center relationships, values, and present-moment choices. His background includes work in general mental health and substance use settings. That experience shaped his interest in addressing addiction, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar concerns, and trauma-related struggles.
He also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, and issues around attachment and abandonment. Matthew draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connections. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy to help people clarify values and build practical coping strategies.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when skills training or thought‑behavior work fits the situation. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from Florida. He combines direct skill-building with a warm, respectful approach so people can try changes at a manageable pace.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns and emotional responses, helping people recognize attachment needs and shift how they connect with others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the person sets the pace and direction of the work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Matthew will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's goals, values, and current challenges. That might mean combining attachment‑focused insight with ACT values work and skill-based CBT or DBT techniques when useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can support brief updates, skills practice, or flexible scheduling between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health constraints while keeping the focus on practical progress and consistent support.
