About MATTHEW
MATTHEW SAMUELS is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who focuses on men's wellbeing among a wide range of concerns. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. He also supports those coping with ADHD, grief, sleep problems, anger, and major life changes.
He works in a straightforward, talk-based way. Sessions often look at current problems and practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. He draws on client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities before suggesting tools to try.
His background includes 14 years of experience and training in depth psychology. He combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques with Motivational Interviewing and Jungian ideas when those approaches fit a client’s needs. That mix lets him address both immediate symptoms and deeper life questions.
Matthew aims to help people build resilience and get clearer about who they want to be. He pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and patterns like codependency or avoidance. He also supports clients with kink-affirming conversations about BDSM and alternative sex culture when relevant.
People often leave sessions with concrete next steps, whether that means practicing new coping skills, trying a brief behavioral change, or reflecting on long-standing patterns. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Matthew uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and center each session on what matters most to the client. This approach is about being heard and steering therapy around a person’s own goals and values rather than a preset agenda.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT gives practical exercises and small experiments that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood more effectively.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Matthew will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process lets the therapist and client pick techniques that feel useful and realistic.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online or remote therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone use mindfulness and CBT homework between sessions in everyday settings to reinforce what was discussed.
