Matthew Digges , LPCC

Matthew Digges is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 11 years of practical experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or the fallout from trauma. He also supports LGBT clients and those struggling with self-esteem, addictions, grief, or relationship and intimacy concerns.

Matthew keeps sessions straightforward and grounded. He listens first, then helps clients name what matters and try doable steps. Conversations often include practical skills for coping, clearer ways to communicate, and small experiments to test what helps in daily life.

His work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Matthew uses these tools to tailor a plan that fits each person’s goals and situation rather than offering one fixed method.

Clients who reach out can expect a collaborative tone. Matthew encourages self-reflection and spotlights strengths while also addressing painful patterns. He helps people dealing with life changes, career stress, parenting strain, ADHD-related struggles, and a wide range of emotional challenges.

Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image, and complex grief are also part of his practice. He aims to help people build routines and skills that make daily life more manageable and more meaningful.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small actions that move them toward a meaningful life. It often focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them block action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep and eating issues, and skills for everyday coping.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. It can be helpful for people working through relationship difficulties, attachment issues, abandonment concerns, or healing from relational trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew treats the choice of methods as a team decision and adjusts strategies based on the client’s goals, preferences, and progress. He will explain options and try what makes sense together rather than sticking to a single plan.

Online care offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
