Matthew Digges, LPCC

Matthew Digges is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 11 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, relationship worries, or identity-related stress. He is comfortable addressing LGBTQ concerns and a wide range of emotional struggles, including addictions and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Matthew uses a compassionate, nonjudgmental style to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing feelings. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer understanding rather than labels. He aims to help people build resilience and find ways to cope with life changes and stressors that get in the way of daily life.

His work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, and he adapts methods to each person’s needs. Matthew often emphasizes building stronger self-connection and improving how people relate to others. He works with concerns from trauma and attachment issues to career stress and caregiver strain.

People come to him for help with specific problems like sleep, eating, ADHD, or anger, and for deeper wounds related to abandonment, adoption, or past abuse. He also supports those managing chronic illness, grief, and compassion fatigue. Matthew’s practice aims to combine straightforward coping tools with space to process painful history.

To begin, he invites a collaborative process where goals are clarified together. That collaborative tone guides treatment so people can test what helps and adjust as they go. The emphasis is on usable steps that fit into everyday life.

Approaches for online work and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking small steps toward a values-driven life. It can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship or identity struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current relationships, which can support healing after trauma, abandonment, or difficulty connecting to others.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. He often combines techniques and adjusts the pace so people can try things and see what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use strategies learned in sessions in real time and return to tools between meetings. Ask about session logistics when you schedule to make sure the format fits your routine.
