Matthew Menard

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Matthew uses the Gottman Method ideas to look at how people interact and communicate. That approach helps identify patterns that cause conflict and offers practical ways to improve everyday conversations and connection.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on action even when feelings are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy is another part of his work; it looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and closeness and helps people build more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Matthew will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. He aims to match techniques to each person's situation rather than sticking to a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messages work well for quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and to keep progress moving between sessions.
