About Matthew
Matthew Berry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with ten years of experience. He practices in Kentucky and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and related concerns. Matthew affirms LGBTQ+ identities and integrates that perspective into his work.
He helps people talk through panic attacks, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and process addictions such as gambling or exercise. He also helps those working on smoking cessation and drug or alcohol addiction. Communication problems, control issues, and forgiveness are common topics he addresses.
Matthew has experience with adoption and foster care histories and attachment concerns. He also works with men's issues and with people who identify with BDSM, kink, or alternative sex culture. He offers a Christian-informed option for clients who want that perspective included in their conversations.
His sessions aim to be collaborative and person-centered. That means he listens to what a person values, then works with them to set practical goals. He focuses on improving communication, reducing impulsivity, and managing anger and shame through step-by-step work.
People who choose him often bring specific problems they want to reduce and skills they want to build. He combines practical techniques with straightforward conversations. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Matthew uses evidence-based techniques online
Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anger, cravings, and intense emotions. One common approach focuses on skills training for emotion regulation - teaching concrete tools to notice triggers, slow reactivity, and practice alternative responses. This helps with anger, impulsivity, and panic symptoms. Another approach concentrates on managing addictive behaviors and compulsions through structured planning and stepwise behavior change. That work breaks large goals into smaller steps and tracks progress to reduce urges and improve daily routines. Finding the best approach is collaborative. Matthew begins by listening to the person's concerns, goals, and preferences and then tests methods that fit those aims. He adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most and involves the person in choosing next steps. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week, using a shorter check-in when time is limited, and choosing a format that matches energy levels, such as an audio-only conversation if video feels draining.
