About Matthew
Dr. Matthew Meyers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in California. He has 20 years of counseling experience and focuses on relationship concerns, parenting, career stress, and managing anger. He works with adults who want clearer communication, fewer explosive moments, or steadier reactions in stressful situations.
Dr. Meyers frames sessions around practical conversation and problem solving. He asks direct, thought-provoking questions to help people notice patterns and try different responses. He aims to build on what already works in a person's life and to develop small, realistic changes that reduce tension at home and at work.
His work draws on Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions look at what matters to the person, examine motivation for change, and set short-term steps to test new behaviors. Conversations are candid and goal-oriented rather than long on theory.
He has long experience with relationship problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and workplace friction. He also addresses fertility stress, money and financial issues, jealousy, forgiveness, and life-purpose questions. He notes experience helping visually impaired clients and young adults navigating early careers.
Dr. Meyers asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. His sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Existential Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and how current choices fit with their values; it is useful when anger links to deeper questions about purpose or identity. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and can help with shifting habits around reactions, communication, and follow-through. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps to reduce conflict and test new behaviors quickly.Finding the right mix of those approaches is part of the process. He collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means early conversations are used to set clear, manageable aims and choose techniques to try between sessions.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since format details are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins during a lunch break or after work. It also lets the therapist and client focus directly on communication patterns, practical experiments, and tracking progress between meetings.
