About Matthew

Matthew McGhee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Kansas with 16 years of experience. He focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and addiction-related problems. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Matthew keeps sessions straightforward and person-centered. He listens closely, then tailors the conversation and plan to each person’s needs. Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals and steps rather than abstract theories.

Background and approach

He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits and solution-focused work to set short-term, realistic goals. These approaches are mixed depending on what a person wants to get from therapy.

Matthew also helps with issues that often come up alongside those concerns. That includes caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. He works with people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, midlife transitions, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use.

Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Matthew aims to make therapy fit a person’s life by picking formats and steps that match the client’s schedule and goals.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Matthew commonly combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, building trust and respect before moving to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more useful patterns, which often suits worries, low mood, and many stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative planning lets sessions shift over time as needs change and progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation across distance, while phone can work with lower bandwidth or when being off camera is preferable. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
