About Matthew

Matthew Digges is an Ohio LPCC with 11 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ concerns. He works with people facing life transitions, relationship strain, addiction challenges, grief, and issues with self-esteem and identity. Matthew focuses on practical ways to cope and move forward rather than quick fixes.

He uses a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based work. Sessions involve looking at current patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing skills for emotion regulation and clearer communication. He aims to help people identify what matters to them and take steps toward it.

Matthew’s background also covers trauma and abuse, ADHD, parenting stress, career concerns, and intimacy-related issues. He pays attention to how past relationships affect present behavior and how that gets in the way of daily functioning. That can include exploring attachment patterns and building more reliable ways of relating to others.

For someone feeling behind after college, burned out at work, or unsure about identity and relationships, he offers straightforward guidance and concrete tools. He can help with sleep and eating disturbances linked to mood, addictive behaviors, and managing grief or caregiver stress.

People meet with him to practice coping strategies, test out new behaviors, and set small, achievable goals. He works collaboratively and focuses on realistic steps that fit day-to-day life.

How Matthew’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small actions that align with those values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build steadier ways of relating. Choosing an approach is collaborative. Matthew will discuss your goals and preferences, and try methods that fit your needs. If something isn’t working, he will adjust the plan so you can find what helps most. Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people use video or audio based on what feels doable that day. These practical options can help therapy fit into study, work, and family routines without promising a specific format.
