About MATTHEW

MATTHEW SAMUELS is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and career worries. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. He uses clear, practical language so people understand what happens in sessions.

He draws on Jungian therapy alongside client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means he pays attention to the stories people tell about their lives and to the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive.

Background and approach

Sessions often mix reflective conversation with practical steps to change daily patterns. Matthew works in a conversational, approachable way. He encourages clients to notice patterns from their past and present that affect choices today.

He offers tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and coping with life changes while also exploring deeper themes like attachment, abandonment, and meaning. Over 14 years of work in counseling settings has given him experience with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar symptoms, chronic illness, codependency, and compassion fatigue.

He adapts methods to fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. People can expect collaboration and straightforward goals. Matthew aims to help clients build resilience, clearer communication, and more satisfying daily routines.

He explains options and helps clients decide what to try next.

How Jungian and Practical Approaches Work Online

Matthew blends Jungian therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques. Jungian therapy looks at personal stories, symbols, and recurring life themes to help people understand why patterns repeat. It can be useful for exploring identity, attachment issues, and feelings of emptiness. Client-centered work focuses on the client's experience and pace, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matthew collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they try practical steps, reflect on what emerges, and adjust the approach as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exploration. Phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth days or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
