About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Daues is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of practice experience. He listens without judgment and helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and sleep problems. He keeps a relaxed style and focuses on practical, workable steps people can use right away.
Matt takes a whole-person view. He considers emotional, physical, and social factors that affect daily life. He works with clients to set clear goals and to choose strategies that match their needs and values.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple skills practice and short exercises. His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness work. That means clients may learn ways to spot unhelpful thoughts, make values-based choices, and try brief attention and breathing exercises during a session.
Matt has experience helping people cope with relationship strain, parenting stress, career transitions, grief, isolation, and the challenges of aging. He also addresses issues such as ADHD, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, and money-related stress. He encourages self-compassion and practical problem solving.
Based in Missouri, Matt holds LCSW and CSW credentials and brings a calm, collaborative presence to sessions. He aims to help people build manageable routines, reduce intense reactions, and find clearer direction in daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction rather than just symptom relief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It often includes homework and brief in-session practice to change patterns that fuel worry, low mood, or anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily routines, and then try methods that fit. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to keep using and which to change if they are not working.
Online sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and in-session mindfulness practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not preferred. Live chat or text sessions make it easier to check in between longer appointments or to fit short reflections into a busy day. These options help people access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
