About Matthew
Matthew Menard is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. He focuses on attachment-related concerns alongside common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. His work also includes trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and support around sexual identity and intimacy.
He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Matthew uses straightforward, conversational sessions. He adapts conversations and plans to match each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve identifying patterns, learning new coping skills, and trying small, practical changes between meetings. He draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape reactions today. Matthew also uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and acceptance and commitment techniques to clarify values and move toward meaningful action.
Dialectical behavior strategies help with emotional regulation when feelings feel overwhelming. Clients come for many reasons, including grief, career stress, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, anger, and ADHD-related struggles. He also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care issues, and codependency.
Work often includes coaching-style guidance alongside therapy conversations. Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients. Matthew supports people through life changes, offering a steady, practical approach that aims to make daily life feel more manageable.

Online support
Attachment work and practical therapy online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current relationships and emotional patterns; it helps people understand why they react a certain way and how to build more supported interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward what matters, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down specific thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to change them, helping with things like stress, sleep problems, and unhelpful thinking.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means talking through priorities, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people write through thoughts between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options provide flexibility to match different schedules and communication styles.
