About Matthew
Matthew Federici is a Florida LMHC with ten years of counseling experience. He works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures and longer-term mental health concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family struggles, grief, trauma, and issues with sleep and eating.
Matthew uses straightforward talking and practical tools in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns of thought and behavior. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach that pays attention to relationships and emotional patterns. Attachment-based ideas are part of how he looks at recurring problems with closeness, trust, and communication. He also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client's views and experiences during sessions.
His background includes work across general mental health and substance-use settings since 2016. That experience has included support for grief and loss, trauma-related concerns, impulse-control and behavioral issues, and health-related or terminal illness matters. He also integrates motivational interviewing techniques when substance use or change readiness is involved.
Sessions are offered in English and are rooted in practical, evidence-informed approaches. People considering therapy are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking and to use the short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial visit.
How Matthew integrates approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck during big life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many day-to-day problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with the client to decide which methods feel most useful based on the person's goals, concerns, and how they prefer to work. That collaborative process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting as needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around study, work, and other responsibilities. They can allow for shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or reduce the need to be on camera for every appointment. Licensed professionals can still use ACT and CBT tools effectively in virtual meetings, focusing on concrete exercises, behavioral experiments, values work, and skills practice that translate into daily life.
