About Matthew

Matthew Digges is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 11 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those navigating LGBT concerns, trauma, and addiction. His approach is warm and affirming and focused on practical steps clients can try between sessions.

He creates a calm space where people can talk through painful memories and current struggles. Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills that help with everyday challenges like sleep problems, low self-esteem, and managing anger. Matthew also pays close attention to how past attachment experiences shape present relationships.

His background includes work across many focus areas such as ADHD, grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and issues related to adoption and abandonment. He draws on several well-known therapy methods to match the work to each person’s needs. That can mean learning new ways to respond to distress or practicing small behavioral changes.

Matthew describes therapy as a collaborative process. He helps people set realistic steps and tracks progress over time. The aim is to build resilience, improve communication, and find clearer purpose during life transitions.

People seeking help for intimacy-related concerns, sexual dysfunction, or relationship patterns can discuss these topics in a straightforward way. Matthew emphasizes respect for individual identity and works to help clients feel more connected to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for panic, sleep problems, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect trust and closeness now, helping people improve how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew takes a collaborative stance and will discuss different methods with each person to decide what feels most helpful. That choice is based on your goals, history, and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexible scheduling. It also makes regular practice of skills between sessions more practical for many people. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well over remote appointments while keeping the focus on usable tools and steady progress.
