About Matthew
Matthew Digges, LPCC, helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with anger. He works with clients who face depression, trauma, identity questions, or addiction. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit everyday life.
Matthew aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming. He listens for what matters most to each person and then helps build simple skills to manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace the client chooses. His work draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. Those methods help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and take actions that match their values.
Matthew also uses attachment-informed strategies to understand patterns in relationships. He brings 11 years of practice as an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor. That background includes supporting people through relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, and career stress.
He also addresses LGBTQ concerns and issues related to trauma and abuse. In sessions clients can expect focused, clear coaching on skills like emotion regulation, boundaries, and coping with life changes. Matthew emphasizes small, repeatable steps so improvements can be used in daily routines.
The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions can focus on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match goals rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. In remote sessions clients learn practical tools like activity scheduling, thought records, and exposure tasks that can be practiced between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, preferences, and daily life. That makes it easier to use what is learned in sessions during real-world moments. Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, and ongoing support that fits around work or family time. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing a busy schedule.Questions people ask about Matthew
