Matthew McGhee, LCPC

Matthew McGhee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 16 years of experience working with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and depression. Licensed in Kansas, Arizona, and Nevada, he focuses on creating a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space where each person’s experience is heard and valued.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the specific circumstances and goals of each client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Matthew emphasizes practical strategies and empathetic understanding to help clients navigate transitions and manage difficult emotions.

Recognizing that beginning therapy often takes courage, he affirms that taking that first step is meaningful and worthy of acknowledgement. Matthew works to reduce barriers by adapting his pace and methods to fit individual needs, helping clients move toward clearer choices and improved coping over time.

Matthew draws on client-centered therapy to place the individual at the center of care, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients explore their values, feelings, and goals while feeling heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress through targeted exercises and behavioral changes. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping clients resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change when facing difficult decisions or habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Matthew works collaboratively with each person to determine which styles and techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused care while adapting to the communication style that works best for each client.
