About Matthew

Matthew Biermacher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions, coping with life changes, and related issues such as ADHD and depression. He also addresses topics relevant to LGBT people, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Matthew focuses on how problems connect across a person’s life. He uses a solution-focused outlook alongside systems ideas to look at relationships, roles, and patterns that keep problems going. Sessions aim to identify specific factors that make an issue harder to manage and then test practical changes that might help.

He draws on a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, existential ideas, and relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method. Those methods are used to help people notice unhelpful thinking, build emotion and attention skills, and work on communication in close relationships.

In a typical meeting Matthew will talk through current problems, look at how they link to other parts of life, and agree on small, concrete steps to try between sessions. Progress is reviewed and adjustments are made if something isn’t working.

People who want to begin are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. He practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

How Matthew’s approaches translate to online sessions

Matthew uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep issues, and mood. He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques. Mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment attention and reduce reactivity.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Matthew will discuss goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. Together he and the client try approaches and adjust what they do based on what helps most over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT skill training, and mindfulness exercises to the online setting so practical skills can be practiced between meetings.
