About Matthew
Matthew Harvey is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction. He approaches each person with respect and practical support. Matthew focuses on what you can do now to feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope.
He starts by listening and treating you as the expert on your life. That means hearing your goals, your limits, and your strengths. From there he works with you to build small, doable steps toward change rather than pushing big plans all at once.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-minded. Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like relationship strain, grief, anger, or career stress. He also helps with issues tied to identity and life transitions, such as LGBT concerns, parenting strain, and feeling isolated.
With three years of professional experience and a Tennessee LCSW credential, he blends practical coaching with therapeutic work. Expect clear feedback, doable homework, and regular check-ins about progress. Conversations aim to reduce symptoms and increase daily functioning.
People who choose him often want a calm, grounded partner for change. He guides discussions about forgiveness, money worries, midlife concerns, and substance issues without judgment. The focus is on building coping skills that fit your real life and schedule.
Approaches and flexible online care
Matthew uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive-behavioral approaches examine unhelpful thoughts and routines and teach concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage cravings. Behavioral activation encourages small, meaningful activities to lift mood and rebuild motivation when depression or low energy make action hard.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and daily life. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan over time so techniques fit real needs rather than a one-size strategy.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to consistent care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a screen break is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family, and other demands.
