About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Raspanti is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English. Matt works from several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and motivational interviewing.
Matt aims for direct, practical conversations about what is troubling someone now. He listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try small, repeatable steps to change those patterns. He uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them.
Many sessions involve setting clear, short-term goals and testing new ways of responding to stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then change them. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.
Matt also addresses related issues that often appear with mood problems, such as caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation. He discusses how these challenges affect daily routines and coping skills, and he helps people prioritize what to tackle first.
The practical focus is on what fits into daily life. Sessions are conversational and action-focused. People who want concrete tools and clear next steps often find this approach useful.

How his approaches translate to remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then testing new responses to reduce symptoms and improve coping. Motivational Interviewing supports movement when motivation is mixed or change feels uncertain; it helps people weigh options and find internal reasons to try something different.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist uses a collaborative process to pick or adapt methods based on the person’s goals, daily routines, and preferences. Sessions often mix conversation, practical exercises, and short homework tasks so progress can be tracked week to week.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. Video or phone meetings can be chosen based on what works best for concentration, camera comfort, or available time. The therapist and client work together to arrange sessions that fit into everyday life.
