About Matthew
Matthew Green is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 5 years of experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and related concerns including social anxiety and phobia.
He frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long lectures. He uses straightforward language and a problem-solving attitude to help people manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges.
Matthew draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and workplace or relationship strain. He also supports people working through family of origin problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and issues common to young adults and men.
In sessions he encourages small, measurable changes and practices that can be used between meetings. He aims to make progress by breaking down worries into manageable tasks and learning new ways of responding to stressful situations. This approach is meant to help clients see realistic improvements over time.
People can expect a practical, goal-oriented style that focuses on what can be done now. Matthew speaks English and provides services in New York. He asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started, then schedule a first session.
Approaches used and how online sessions fit
Two evidence-based approaches Matthew uses include cognitive-focused techniques and exposure-based strategies. Cognitive-focused work helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice clearer, more balanced ways of interpreting situations, which can ease persistent worry. Exposure-based strategies involve gradual, planned steps toward situations that cause fear, and they are commonly used for panic, phobias, and social anxiety.He also uses behavioral activation for low mood, which encourages small, regular activities that can lift motivation and improve day-to-day functioning. Each approach is presented in plain language and linked to practical exercises clients can try between sessions.
Finding the right fit is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and responses to early sessions, then adjust methods together. This shared process helps shape a plan that feels doable and focused on the client's priorities.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use video or phone in different ways to match a client's needs, and Matthew will discuss which format best supports the work you want to do.
