Matthew Green, LMHC

Matthew Green is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with five years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation concerns, depression, and a range of relationship and family issues including parenting and family-of-origin difficulties. His practice also supports clients dealing with bipolar disorder, panic and social anxiety, workplace challenges, and the life transitions common to young adults and parents.

Matthew believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths are key resources in overcoming painful or confusing moments. He views seeking treatment as a meaningful first step and aims to build on that initiative with compassionate, evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to individual goals. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer understanding of patterns, and collaborative planning to move toward a more manageable and hopeful future. Those interested in working with him can expect a respectful, goal-oriented process that honors personal values and preferences while addressing immediate concerns.

Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Online

Matthew uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building and clearer understanding of unhelpful patterns. One strand of his work focuses on skills-based strategies that teach coping tools for managing stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and panic - practical exercises clients can use between sessions to reduce symptoms and increase functioning. Another strand emphasizes structured, problem-focused work that explores relationship patterns, family-of-origin dynamics, and grief reactions to identify contributing factors and set measurable goals for change. These approaches are rooted in research and are tailored to each person’s situation and priorities.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Matthew works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals when appropriate to determine which methods fit best given a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. He adapts the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use different formats for skills practice and check-ins, all while working with a licensed therapist from wherever the client is located in New York.
