About Matthew

Dr. Matthew Meyers is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, work stress, and life transitions. He takes a direct, conversational approach and asks thought-provoking questions to move conversations forward.

He focuses on relationship and family concerns, communication problems, and issues that commonly appear around divorce and separation. He also addresses parenting and fatherhood issues, money and career pressures, and questions about life purpose. He aims to build on what is already working in a person's life while tackling the problems they find most pressing.

His style blends existential perspectives with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions look at values and meaning, draw out personal motivation for change, and set clear, practical goals to try between meetings. Conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented rather than prescriptive.

Dr. Meyers has worked in counseling settings for 20 years and holds a doctorate in counseling psychology. He is licensed to practice in multiple states and lists California as a location for his practice. He meets people where they are and keeps the focus on steps they can try right away.

People who come to him for help can expect straightforward feedback, questions that prompt reflection, and practical strategies they can test between sessions. He typically schedules on weekday evenings or weekends and works from the West Coast time zone.

How his approaches guide online work

Existential Therapy helps people look at values, meaning, and choices in life. It can be useful when a major life change or a relationship shift raises questions about purpose and direction.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change. It is practical for moments when someone feels stuck and needs to build momentum toward decisions or behavior changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and clear goals. It helps when someone wants concrete actions to try between sessions to improve communication, manage anger, or navigate separation logistics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He will adjust the plan as progress is made and priorities shift.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, offer shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or remove travel time. Many people find virtual sessions let them practice new communication skills in real time and bring examples from daily life into the conversation.
