Matthew McGhee, LCPC

Matthew McGhee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He practices from Kansas and focuses on practical ways to manage day-to-day struggles. He aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Matthew adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. He listens first, then works with people to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings to reduce worry and improve communication.

He draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic ones. He also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the person in front of him. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change and wants to build commitment at their own pace.

Common topics he addresses include parenting pressures, caregiver stress, addiction patterns, anger, low self-esteem, and career-related concerns. He also helps people facing life transitions, midlife questions, and challenges tied to guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Matthew can talk through communication problems, control issues, jealousy, and infidelity-related distress.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. He encourages people to take the first step and complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin the process.

How Matthew Uses Talk Therapies Online

Matthew draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into small, workable steps.

He also uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's own goals and priorities. That approach is about listening carefully and shaping support around what matters most to the individual.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then adjust methods to fit those needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps people stay connected between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
