About Matthew

Matthew Mateika is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He emphasizes a flexible, person-centered working relationship that adapts to each client’s pace and goals. With nine years of clinical experience, Matthew shapes care around practical steps that support both short-term coping and longer-term change.

His background includes roles in a university counseling center and as lead clinician at a residential substance abuse program, where he worked with diverse clients on substance-related concerns as well as mood and anxiety disorders.

Matthew describes therapy as a collaborative partnership and draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to what a client needs. He aims to help people build skills, increase insight, and pursue meaningful change while honoring their individual preferences and readiness.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Matthew blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to create an adaptable online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore concerns at their own pace and clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers structured tools to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or difficulties with attention and then develop practical skills to change those patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Matthew will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and goals, often integrating elements from different approaches as progress and preferences indicate. This ongoing collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and effective for everyday life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments while accessing licensed professionals who use evidence-informed methods.
