About Matthew

LPC and LPCC licensed in West Virginia and Kentucky with ten years of experience, Matthew Berry focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, anger, and depression. He practices in Kentucky and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and behavioral concerns. Sessions are conducted in English.

Matthew uses a collaborative, person-centered style. He helps people talk through difficult feelings, reduce anxious or impulsive reactions, and address patterns that keep them stuck. He also works on communication skills, managing panic attacks, and coping with obsessive or compulsive behaviors.

He has specific experience with adoption and foster care matters and with attachment-related issues. He assists people dealing with process addictions such as porn, exercise, and gambling, as well as drug and alcohol concerns and smoking cessation.

How Matthew Applies Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like anxiety, mood disorders, and addictive behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new coping skills, which can reduce panic attacks and obsessive behaviors. Motivational strategies help people clarify values and build momentum for change, useful for smoking cessation and substance or process addictions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Sessions include reviewing progress and adjusting techniques so the plan fits what actually helps the client.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on mental health into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep therapy practical and consistent with a client’s routine.
