About Matthew
Matthew Pearce is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida who focuses on family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and addictions. He draws on six years of clinical therapy experience and a longer history in social work to help people facing relationship strain, anger, and major life changes.
He talks plainly and helps people make small, usable plans that fit their day-to-day lives. In sessions he centers the conversation on each person's priorities and strengths.
Background and approach
He uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions and improve relationships. For trauma-related concerns he brings approaches that address painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life.
He supports parents who need clearer routines, problem-solving for blended family dynamics, or help managing caregiver stress. He also helps people working through abandonment, attachment issues, or body image struggles. Matthew favors collaborative work.
He helps people set concrete goals, map steps forward, and track small changes over time. He encourages using mindfulness practices to ease stress and strengthen attention to what matters most. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video, phone, chat, or messaging to fit different schedules.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step help connect people to a suitable appointment time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people identify their own goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses short-term exercises that change thought patterns and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and building concrete coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and communication skills. It can be helpful for managing intense emotions, improving boundaries, and reducing conflict in relationships.
Matthew will work collaboratively with each person to find the best mix of approaches. Together they will weigh goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first and how to track progress over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or homework support. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or other busy days while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
