About Matthew

Matthew Kiefer brings an approachable, strengths-based style to clients seeking help with attention challenges, mood concerns, stress, and relationship struggles. He is identified as an LPC and LCPC with 11 years of clinical experience, and his practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental stance toward each person's story.

Background and approach

Matthew frames therapy as a collaborative process that adapts to individual needs and preferences rather than relying on one fixed method. His work integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-focused perspectives to address issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addictions, and caregiving strain.

He also addresses areas such as parenting and career concerns, blended family dynamics, and attachment or adoption-related difficulties. Sessions are tailored to the client's circumstances, with an emphasis on practical skills, emotional understanding, and building resilience.

Located in Utah, Matthew offers services through multiple remote formats and communicates in English. He aims to create an encouraging, playful, and interactive therapeutic environment that honors each client's goals while supporting tangible progress.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life

Matthew often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in changing unhelpful thinking and building values-driven actions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting thought and behavior patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and stress, while ACT emphasizes acceptance of difficult emotions and committing to meaningful changes aligned with personal values.

He also incorporates attachment-informed ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns and to strengthen connection and emotional regulation in relationships. These approaches are used in a collaborative way, with the therapist and client exploring which methods best match the client's goals, preferences, and needs rather than prescribing a single path.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Utah-based licensed professionals while fitting therapy into work, family, and daily routines. The therapist will work with clients to choose the format that supports engagement and progress.
