Matthew Sniscak

Matthew Sniscak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life transitions. He works with concerns around parenting, family conflict, career strain, low self-esteem, and motivation. He also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.

Matthew aims to make the first step easier for someone who is nervous about starting therapy. He focuses on creating an open, welcoming space where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings without judgment. He encourages small, manageable steps toward clearer goals.

In sessions he blends practical tools and conversation. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and on mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity. He also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next actions.

Matthew has 14 years of experience working in behavioral health settings. That background includes helping adolescents, parents, caregivers, and adults navigate school, family, and work stressors. He brings that range to short-term concerns and longer-term growth work.

He works in English and is licensed to practice as an LPC in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. If someone wants to begin, Matthew asks them to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking committed steps toward those values, which can help when anger or life changes make decision-making hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches straightforward strategies to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or panic. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to build trust and help people find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Matthew will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan so techniques fit daily routines and real-world demands.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, skip travel time, use shorter check-ins when needed, or choose audio over video if that feels better. Many people find that having therapy available remotely lets them practice skills between sessions and apply them more quickly in everyday life.
