About Matthew
Matthew Menard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. He brings 12 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, and mood challenges. He centers conversations on respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s situation and goals, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Matthew aims to create a clear path forward and to support practical steps between appointments.
Background and approach
Matthew uses approaches that include the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. He draws on these methods to address communication patterns, emotional coping, and unhelpful thinking habits.
Across his practice he helps people with a wide range of concerns, such as grief, intimacy-related struggles, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and care-related stress. He also addresses issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment wounds, chronic illness, and body image concerns.
Matthew works with LGBT clients and offers support around blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to aging or chronic pain. He encourages small, achievable changes and partners with clients to build skills that fit daily life. To start, he asks about what matters most to the client, then crafts a plan that fits their needs and pace.
His style is practical and steady, aimed at helping people move toward clearer choices and better functioning.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Matthew often uses the Gottman Method to help people notice and change interaction patterns that cause conflict and distance in relationships. That approach focuses on communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection step by step.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and build actions that match those values, even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early bonds shape current reactions and to develop new ways of relating and regulating emotions.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Matthew will listen to your goals, try different tools, and adjust the plan based on what works for you. He encourages collaboration so the methods fit your needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single technique.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in during a busy day, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit counseling into real life while keeping focus on progress and practical change.
