    About Matthew

    Dr. Matthew Meyers uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find direction and make choices that matter to them. He brings 20 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor. Dr. Meyers speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on practical steps that clients can try between meetings.

    He often works with relationship and family concerns, and helps people who are dealing with career questions, parenting strain, or big life changes. He also supports those facing anger, self-esteem struggles, and workplace problems. Clients can expect conversations about what is working and what they want to change, with questions that encourage clear thinking and action.

    Dr. Meyers uses approaches drawn from Existential Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy as well as Motivational Interviewing. That means sessions can include talking about values and purpose, while also identifying small, concrete steps forward. He aims to make sessions collaborative so people leave with things they can try right away.

    He practices in California and has two decades of clinical experience. His credentials include LMHC and LPC, listed as Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor. Sessions are scheduled around availability and timing can vary.

    People looking to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged after the match, and appointments are set according to the therapist's availability.

  2. How these approaches guide online sessions

    Motivational Interviewing helps people move from uncertainty to action by focusing on their reasons for change and their own goals. It uses questions and reflections to strengthen commitment and plan doable steps. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and personal responsibility, helping people name what matters and make choices that align with that sense of purpose. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical changes by identifying strengths and past successes and building on them.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then decide collaboratively which techniques to use. That process can shift over time as goals change or new issues arise.

    The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit visits into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time so sessions can occur around work or family commitments. Licensed professionals often combine conversational exploration with goal-focused exercises so people leave sessions with clear next steps.
