Matthew Paulus, LMHC, brings six years of clinical practice to his work in Florida. He centers his practice on conflict resolution and anger management while also supporting young adults navigating transitions to college or the workforce. He also meets with family members of an addict to help them address dynamics and coping strategies related to substance use in the household.
Matthew draws on a range of clinical approaches to tailor each session to the needs presented. His areas of focus include family relationships, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and issues around intimacy and self esteem. He also attends to related concerns such as codependency, communication problems, and workplace challenges.
Clients can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented collaboration that reflects Matthew's clinical specialties and therapeutic modalities. He works with individuals and families to identify practical steps forward while considering personal values and life transitions.
Matthew integrates Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to the client and building a collaborative conversation that prioritizes the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy addresses patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and small, practical steps clients can use between sessions.
This combination supports clients who want both reflective exploration and targeted change. Matthew works with clients to set clear goals and select strategies that match the issue at hand, whether that is conflict resolution, navigating a life transition, or managing intense emotions. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the client and therapist shaping the focus together.
Remote sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the communication format that fits their needs.
