About Matthew
Matthew Grimm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. He also lists young adult issues among his core concerns and works with people facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and attachment difficulties.
Matthew uses a collaborative style in sessions. He draws on behaviorist and cognitive approaches to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and try small, testable changes. He also brings creative methods such as narrative therapy, drama therapy, and narradrama when those tools fit a person's goals.
He describes his work as trauma-informed and neurodivergent-informed, meaning he pays attention to how past traumatic events and neurological differences shape someone’s experience. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on skills people can use between meetings. Matthew notes he supports people across a range of life circumstances, including chronic illness, caregiving strain, and challenges related to autism or intellectual disability.
Matthew says he is comfortable working with people who hold religious beliefs or prefer secular approaches. That means conversations about values or faith are possible when relevant. He aims to help people navigate setbacks like job changes, isolation after college, relationship stress, or managing mood symptoms.
For someone in early adulthood feeling behind or overwhelmed, Matthew offers straightforward strategies and options to try. He frames progress as small steps toward clearer thinking and steadier routines.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Matthew draws on behaviorist and cognitive approaches in clear, practical ways. Behaviorist techniques focus on changing observable habits and building routines that reduce stress and reactivity. Cognitive approaches look at the thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood and teach ways to test and reframe those thoughts.Narrative methods and drama-based techniques are used as creative options for people who find storytelling or role work helpful. These approaches help people reorder difficult memories or try out different responses in a low-risk way. They can be useful for trauma, identity questions, and work on attachment patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting methods together rather than committing to one single method from the start.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help clients maintain consistency while working on stress, mood, trauma, or life transitions.
