About Matthew

Matthew Rome is a licensed clinician in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the effects of trauma. He presents a steady, respectful presence and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Matthew uses straightforward language so families and individuals can understand the work ahead.

Over 14 years he has built a practice that centers on listening first and planning next. He adapts conversations and goals to each person rather than using a single approach for everyone.

Background and approach

That can mean short-term strategies for managing strong feelings or a longer plan for mood and motivation. Matthew draws on several evidence-based methods to shape sessions. He blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive tools to notice unhelpful thoughts.

Mindfulness skills and client-centered listening are mixed in so sessions remain practical and person-focused. Sessions often include concrete exercises to try at home, along with coaching on how to handle triggers and setbacks. He helps people identify small changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm over time.

People typically work on clearer values, better emotion regulation, or renewed motivation. Matthew emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes. He invites questions and adjusts pacing to fit each person’s needs.

Approaches Matthew names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small steps that add up to a clearer sense of direction and reduced avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets specific thinking and behavior patterns that keep symptoms active, and it often uses short exercises to test new ways of responding to stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matthew collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That choice is revisited over time so the plan stays aligned with progress and any changing needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing tracking and short updates. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to use tools and homework between meetings.
