Teletherapy and trauma-informed methods
Matthew integrates EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy into teletherapy in ways intended to help people process difficult experiences. EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation and a structured protocol to revisit and reprocess upsetting memories. Accelerated Resolution Therapy focuses on imagery rescripting to change distressing mental images and their emotional charge. In session he introduces these approaches with plain language, sets collaborative goals, and respects the client as the primary source of expertise about their life.
Teletherapy appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. He explains methods and options up front so clients can choose what fits their needs. While training in specific modalities informs treatment choices, the therapist and client work together to determine the pace, techniques, and structure of sessions.
