About MATTHEW
MATTHEW SAMUELS is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people manage anger and related concerns. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or self-esteem struggles. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.
He draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered work are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Background and approach
Jungian ideas about personal meaning and patterns are also part of his toolbox when that fits a person’s goals. Matthew favors a straightforward, collaborative style. He listens first, looks for patterns that keep problems repeating, and then sets small, testable goals.
People can expect direct feedback, coping strategies, and short-term skills alongside deeper reflection when needed. He has 14 years of experience as a psychotherapist and holds an LPC credential in New Jersey. That background includes work in multiple settings with a range of concerns, including trauma and compassion fatigue.
His aim is to help people become more resilient and better able to handle stressors. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Matthew emphasizes flexible options to fit different schedules and communication styles.

Approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting concerns and helping people clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety, using concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and reacting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This collaborative process means methods can shift as goals change or progress appears.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, busy days, or different comfort levels with talking on camera.
