01About Matthew
Matthew Rome is a licensed clinician in Illinois who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and ADHD. He frames sessions in straightforward language and aims to make each visit feel practical and focused. Matthew emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in his work.
He uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. In sessions he listens first, then outlines simple steps to reduce distress and build skills.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around real-life problems like motivation, self-worth, mood swings, and finding life purpose. Matthew has 14 years of professional experience and holds the LCPC credential, which reflects his Illinois licensure. That background informs how he helps people set manageable goals and track progress week to week.
He avoids jargon and explains tools in everyday terms. Typical sessions include teaching coping skills, practicing new behaviors, and naming patterns that keep problems stuck. He will adjust pacing and tools based on what helps the person feel more capable.
The work can include short-term problem solving or longer-term focus on mood and identity. Matthew encourages small steps and clear next actions between sessions. He supports people who want to improve self-love, clarify life purpose, or gain steadier mood control.
His approach is collaborative and pragmatic, aiming to make progress feel real and sustainable.

04Online support
How Matthew’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them, while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting pulled into them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention practices to help reduce reactivity and improve emotional steadiness.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Matthew will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Then he will recommend methods and adjust them over time so the plan fits the person’s life and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when a flexible brief touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while using the approaches above in a convenient way.
