About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Daues is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, phobias, and stress. He works with adults seeking clearer goals and steadier moods. His tone is relaxed and straightforward, making it easier to talk about difficult problems.
Matt takes a whole-person view. He looks at emotional and physical health, work and money issues, and how relationships affect day-to-day life. He listens first, then helps people set practical, achievable goals that fit their situation.
Background and approach
In sessions he uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to break patterns and build better habits. Mindfulness and meditation exercises are offered when helpful, and Matt often teaches simple relaxation methods that can be practiced between meetings. His counseling style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
He helps people make their own choices rather than telling them what to do. That approach is useful for coping with life changes, managing anger or stress, improving self-esteem, and addressing obsessive thoughts or panic attacks. With 25 years of experience and licenses as an LCSW in California and Colorado, Matt brings long-term perspective to common struggles.
He practices from Missouri and holds the credentials LCSW and CSW. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps toward feeling better.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms like panic, obsessive thinking, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and daily routine. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time to make progress manageable and realistic.
Online sessions make it easier to access care from different locations. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and practicing exercises together. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when a written conversation feels easier to manage. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
