Matt Zupko
Hi, I'm Matt Zupko, a professional counselor with almost two decades of experience, specializing in anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Therapy can be daunting, especially if it's new to you. But you've taken the first step, and that's something to be proud of! If you're returning to therapy, great! It's the first step to feeling better. People seek therapy for various reasons. They may be struggling with a lifelong issue or something new. Some look for an unbiased listener to talk through their troubles. They might feel stuck in their situation in life, but they all share one thing: they're ready for a change.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Meeting someone for the first time can be nerve-wracking, especially when discussing sensitive topics. In our first few sessions, we'll take things slow, getting to know each other and talking about why you're seeking help. I'll go at your pace, creating a safe space where you can feel comfortable opening up.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I'm a great listener who treats clients with empathy and respect. I'm easy-going and relaxed, and I've been coping with depression and anxiety since I was a child. Sometimes I share how a relevant event from my past and how I coped with it may relate to a client's current concern.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My approach is tailored to each individual, as no two people are alike. I help clients recognize patterns of behavior that have led to negative outcomes, affecting their relationships, work, and personal lives. I've worked with many clients who have bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, grief, and work/home/social life imbalances.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
This approach ensures that each client's needs are met in the most effective way possible. It combines the best ideas and techniques from several other methods, tailoring them to each client's individual situation.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This is a well-known, "gold standard" approach that has been demonstrated to be effective for many people facing many issues. It is one of the most commonly used "go-to" methods. This is based on the idea that there is a direct link between thoughts, expectations, and behavior that, with attention, can be changed.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
A useful approach that many find helpful, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) has been incorporated into many different disciplines recently. This can be particularly helpful for those with anxiety.
