MATTHEW SAMUELS is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, ADHD challenges, grief, and problems tied to life changes or trauma.

His background is in depth psychology and Jungian ideas, so he also pays attention to patterns that repeat across a person’s life and the stories they tell about themselves. Motivational interviewing shows up in his work when someone needs help finding reasons to change and keeping momentum.
Over his career he has worked in multiple clinical settings and with a wide range of concerns. He aims to help people build resilience and a clearer sense of who they want to be. Sessions are presented in a calm, direct manner and the focus is practical change that fits everyday life.

Approaches in online sessions and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means the conversation follows what the client brings and the therapist reflects and helps clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings and decide on priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different responses. It is practical and helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and behavior patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a client's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining practical CBT exercises with deeper exploration of life patterns and personal meaning.
