About Matthew

Matthew Menard is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who draws on a blend of evidence-based methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, he adapts therapy to each person's needs and emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care. Matthew frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to empower clients to pursue a more fulfilling life.

He works with a broad range of issues including depression, grief, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and career adjustments, as well as complex topics such as attachment difficulties, co-morbidity, and chronic illness. Matthew uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-informed work to tailor practical strategies and insight-driven interventions.

His goal is to help clients develop skills, clarify values, and build resilience while honoring individual differences and life circumstances. Clients can expect a personalized treatment plan and a conversational style that centers their priorities.

Matthew supports people through change by combining structured therapeutic techniques with empathic listening and collaborative problem solving.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy



Matthew uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, notice unhelpful thoughts, and take committed action toward what matters to them. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on practical steps aligned with personal priorities. He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches skills to shift those patterns; CBT can be especially useful for mood, anxiety, and coping with daily challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Matthew approaches that decision collaboratively. He will explore a client's concerns, goals, and preferences, then recommend and adapt methods so the work feels tailored and effective. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different locations and at varying times. These formats can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care during life changes, while still focusing on building skills, insight, and meaningful progress.
