About Matthew
Matthew Menard is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and mood challenges like depression and bipolar. Matthew uses clear, respectful language so people feel understood from the first conversation.
He adapts sessions to each person’s needs instead of following one fixed plan. That means talking through goals, trying techniques that fit a person's life, and checking in to see what helps.
Background and approach
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral work, attachment-focused ideas, and skills-based methods to manage intense emotions. Matthew also supports people with concerns around grief, intimacy, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, and compassionate fatigue.
He pays attention to background issues like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and identity matters. Sessions aim to make everyday life feel more manageable, not just to talk about problems. People can expect a steady, nonjudgmental tone and practical tasks to try between meetings.
Matthew emphasizes collaboration so the plan stays relevant to real life. He encourages small, measurable steps toward better routines, clearer boundaries, and healthier relationships. He offers help in English and accepts international clients.
Matthew’s practice is focused on working with individuals who want to build coping skills and move toward meaningful change.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often uses short exercises and practice tasks that fit well into video or messaging formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behavior patterns, which works well with worksheets, brief skill practice, and step-by-step homework between sessions.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Matthew will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, adjust the plan over time, and blend techniques to match goals and preferences. The emphasis is on practical choices and regular check-ins so the work stays connected to daily life.
Online formats include video calls for in-depth conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in, live chat for quick exchanges, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, attend from different locations, and keep momentum between sessions.
