About Matthew
Matthew McGhee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Kansas with 16 years of experience. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, depression, anger, and addiction-related struggles. He aims to meet people where they are and make the first step feel manageable.
He works in a straightforward, respectful way and adapts conversations to each person's situation. Sessions focus on clear goals and tools you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
He centers the client's perspective and collaborates on a plan rather than imposing a single method. Matthew combines client-centered conversation with goal-focused techniques. He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot thinking patterns that increase distress.
He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when people need help finding motivation or quick, concrete steps forward. People come for a range of issues - from coping with life changes and caregiver stress to communication problems, control issues, guilt, shame, and midlife transitions. Process addictions, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and questions about life purpose are also part of his work.
He keeps language plain and focuses on actionable change. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Matthew asks clients to identify goals early so each session can move toward measurable progress.
He encourages anyone who is unsure to try a short set of sessions and reassess as they go.

How Matthew's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting your own goals back to you. It helps when you need someone to understand your situation and guide decisions without pushing a fixed plan. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about what you want to change and try methods that match your needs. Together you can adjust techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and goal-oriented.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you see facial cues and use screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for quick check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
