Matthew Menard, LPC

Matthew Menard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. He focuses on practical, real-world help for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and related issues like grief and self-esteem. He aims to treat people with sensitivity and respect while tailoring sessions to individual needs.

He uses conversations to clarify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on steps people can try between meetings, not just talk. He adjusts pacing and tools to match how someone learns and handles emotions.

Matthew draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-based action, and attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns. He also uses client-centered listening to keep the person's priorities in view. These approaches guide practical exercises and problem-solving.

Over his career he has supported people dealing with parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, career stress, and ADHD among other issues. He also helps with complex situations like chronic illness, blended family tensions, adoption and foster care questions, and codependency.

Sessions are offered in English, and he accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers step-by-step exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, and can be useful for intimacy-related issues and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The practical upside of doing therapy online is flexibility. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a work break, dial in when travel would be difficult, or avoid commuting time. Since the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm current options before booking. A conversation about scheduling will clarify what works best for timing, session length, and how exercises will be practiced between meetings.
