Matthew Digges

Matthew Digges is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 11 years of experience helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and depression. He creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about hard emotions without judgment. He focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more in control.

Matthew uses a collaborative style that centers the client's goals. Sessions focus on building skills for handling strong feelings, improving communication, and making choices that match personal values. He aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and measure what helps.

His work draws on several therapy approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-based thinking. Those tools are used to reduce unhelpful thinking, increase emotional awareness, and strengthen important relationships. Matthew tailors each approach to fit the person in front of him rather than following a rigid plan.

He has supported people with a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including trauma and abuse, LGBTQ matters, addictions, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and career stress. That breadth helps him connect patterns across life areas and offer focused strategies.

Clients can expect a straightforward, nonjudgmental clinician who listens and offers concrete options. The work is collaborative, paced to the client's needs, and aimed at building lasting coping skills rather than quick fixes.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions because it pairs awareness exercises with clear behavior goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking that fuel strong emotions and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behavior. CBT is often used for stress, depression, and problem-focused concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connection needs, which can help with intimacy, grief, and relationship tensions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. He adapts exercises and pace based on what the client finds useful, so therapy is a team effort rather than a fixed course.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow people to join from a location that reduces travel time. Many clients find virtual sessions help them maintain continuity through life changes while still working on skills for anger, stress, and relationships.
