About Matthew

Matthew Rome is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois with 14 years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He focuses on building motivation, self-esteem, and a stronger sense of self-worth while helping clients explore life purpose and mood-related concerns. Matthew approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring dialogue and plans to individual needs.

He integrates evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help clients develop practical skills and new perspectives. Matthew emphasizes collaboration, meeting clients where they are and adapting strategies to fit unique circumstances.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life can feel daunting, and he aims to provide steady support as clients pursue meaningful change and greater self-love.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward meaningful goals while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life-purpose work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and build practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotion regulation.

Choosing the right method is part of the work itself, and Matthew collaborates with each client to determine which approach or combination feels most useful. He adapts techniques to match a client’s goals, preferences, and pace so treatment is personally relevant and actionable.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and continue work between meetings. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to access consistent care from wherever they are in Illinois, helping maintain momentum in skill building and progress.
