Matthew Rodgers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California (CA LCSW 127095) with 5 years of professional experience. He focuses on supporting people dealing with addictions, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, intimacy-related issues, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and coping with life changes.
He creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and he offers steady support throughout that process.
Much of his career has been spent working with Veterans, and he has experience helping patients with PTSD, substance use issues, and with pursuing goals that lead to greater independence and well-being. He also has a background in Gerontology (MA), familiarity with LGBTQIA+ culture, and training in sex therapy.
Matthew works with gay clients and identifies as a non-religious, liberal therapist, offering care attuned to those identities and perspectives.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that works best for them, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine.
All therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients are able to change therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit.
