About Matthew

Matthew "Matt" Daues brings 25 years of clinical experience to his work supporting people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and other life changes.

Background and approach

He approaches care with a relaxed, collaborative manner that centers the whole person - considering emotional, physical, and socioeconomic factors when shaping goals and interventions. Matt uses evidence-informed methods including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and acceptance-based ideas to help clients build practical skills and find clearer direction.

He often incorporates mindfulness and brief meditation exercises during sessions and emphasizes client choice in goal-setting and treatment planning. Licensed as a clinical social worker in Missouri and California, he aims to help people identify meaningful steps toward improved wellbeing while tailoring strategies to each person's values and circumstances.

Approach-Driven Online Care and Flexible Session Options

Matt commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns. He also integrates mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, reduce stress reactivity, and support sleep and emotional regulation. These approaches are presented in clear, hands-on ways so clients can practice skills during and between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. The therapist works with each client to clarify goals, review what techniques feel most helpful, and adjust methods over time based on progress, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to fit regular sessions into busy lives, continue work while traveling within accepted regions, or use brief check-ins when that better supports goals. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools to work effectively across these remote formats.
