01About MATTHEW
MATTHEW SAMUELS is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, and career questions. He works with issues like trauma, grief, intimacy-related struggles, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people facing challenges tied to identity, body image, and family of origin.
He uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. He listens first, then helps clients set clear short-term goals.
Background and approach
Sessions mix practical skills with deeper reflection depending on what a person needs. His background is in depth psychology and Jungian ideas, which means he pays attention to personal meaning, recurring life patterns, and inner imagery. He combines that perspective with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used to build awareness and keep change moving forward. Matthew has 14 years of experience across a variety of clinical settings. He brings that breadth to individual work and aims to help people become more resilient and self-directed.
His approach is flexible - sometimes brief coaching-style work, sometimes longer reflective therapy - based on each person's goals. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Matthew holds a New Jersey LPC credential and draws on both practical strategies and depth-focused exploration to help people cope and grow.

04Online support
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and supporting each person’s own goals; it helps people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort problems and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges. Jungian ideas bring attention to recurring life themes, inner images, and personal meaning, which can help when someone wants deeper self-understanding alongside practical change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. He blends practical CBT tools, motivational interviewing to build readiness, mindfulness to increase awareness, and depth-oriented work when it serves the client’s aims.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions fit real life. Video is good when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and messaging are helpful for short exchanges, daily tracking, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to match sessions to busy schedules and personal needs.
