About Matthew
Matthew McGhee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 16 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and depression. He works from a respectful, down-to-earth stance and adapts his approach to each person's needs. He aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and straightforward.
Matthew keeps sessions practical and focused. He listens first, then helps clients identify small, doable changes. Conversations center on what is happening now and what can be tried next.
Background and approach
That makes therapy useful between sessions as well as during them. He draws on methods that encourage clear thinking and personal motivation. Matthew helps people rethink unhelpful patterns, set realistic goals, and build everyday habits that reduce stress.
He also addresses problems such as anger, low self-esteem, caregiving strain, and addictions in direct, concrete ways. People who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented style tend to do well with him. Sessions often include problem-solving, short-term strategies, and efforts to strengthen communication and boundaries.
He pays attention to values, life purpose, and recovery from process addictions like gambling or exercise when those issues come up. Matthew practices in Kansas and offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
He conducts sessions in English and works with adults who want a practical path forward for parenting stress, career pressures, mood concerns, or relationship challenges.

Approaches that fit online care and practical goals
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to find their own answers for parenting stress, relationship strain, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It teaches simple tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress.
Matthew approaches online work as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then shape the approach together. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the first few sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all decision.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting, work, and caregiving demands.
