Matthew has been an incredible guide in my personal growth. What sets him apart is not just his ability to listen, but his deep knowledge and understanding of me as a person. Where I’ve been, where I want to go, and how to help me get there. From the start, he really took the time to ask the right questions and understand my goals, even when they were a bit unclear, and has worked with me to create a thoughtful, actionable plan to achieve them. One of the things I appreciate most is how Matthew doesn’t just give general advice, he tailors his suggestions to my specific situation and always provides practical strategies I can use right away. He’s incredibly insightful and has a way of offering just the right guidance when I need it. But what stands out the most is his ability to keep me on track, even when I veer off course. Whether I’m distracted, overwhelmed, or unsure, Matthew always finds a way to tie everything back together, helping me refocus and continue making progress. It’s clear that Matthew is deeply invested in my growth. He sees the big picture but also breaks things down into manageable steps, ensuring that I always leave our sessions with a sense of direction and purpose. If you’re looking for a therapist who blends expertise with empathy and offers the kind of support that keeps you moving forward, I can’t recommend Matthew highly enough. He’s helped me turn vague ideas into clear, achievable goals, even when I sometimes stray from the action plan, and for that, I’m incredibly grateful.

Matt Rome is an LCPC with years of experience in therapy. He also specializes in the diagnosis that I have. I appreciate his kindness and compassion. It helps that he doesnt expect me to accept techniques that don't necessarily fit me. I did have a previous therapist that only wanted to do things her way and didn't listen when I said it wasn't working for me or expressed my concerns.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
