About Matthew
Matthew Digges is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 11 years of experience. He works with men focusing on stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ concerns. He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Clients can expect a calm, affirming space to talk through difficult emotions. Matthew emphasizes listening first, then helping people set concrete goals. He draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs in the moment.
His work covers a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and career stress. He also supports people facing parenting strain, chronic illness, ADHD, and relationship conflict. Matthew pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment experiences affect current relationships.
In sessions he uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and clarify values. He also uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to build trust and strengthen emotional connection. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when people need tools for managing intense feelings.
Matthew describes his process as collaborative. He helps people find small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Those efforts aim to reduce distress and make daily life more manageable.
