About Matthew
Matthew Federici, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), is licensed in Florida and has ten years of practice experience. He works with adults and youth on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, and related issues using the clinical approaches he lists. He describes his orientation with client-centered, cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, attachment-based, and dialectical behavior methods.
Matthew helps people talk through immediate concerns and learn skills to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. He uses clear strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and ACT techniques to clarify values and move toward meaningful actions. Attachment-based work looks at past relational patterns that affect current connections.
His background includes work in general mental health and substance use settings since 2016. That experience includes treatment for depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma-related conditions, and substance-related concerns. He has worked with both adults and youth in those settings.
Sessions emphasize practical skills, straightforward exploration, and motivational methods when change is the goal. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Client-centered elements focus on listening and responding to the person in front of him.
Matthew notes a Christian-based perspective in his practice. He also lists additional focus areas such as ADHD, parenting and career stresses, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care, and aging-related issues. Language of service is English and he does not accept international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small steps toward what matters. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching skills to notice thoughts and keep moving toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical techniques for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotion regulation. It is useful when relationship patterns and past attachments shape present difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what works. Sessions can include skill practice, problem solving, and discussion about relationships and values as guided by these methods.
Session format options are not listed in the original biography, so confirm available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work to remote sessions so clients can learn tools and apply them between meetings.
