About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Daues is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, and ADHD. He also addresses relationship and family concerns alongside life changes and compassion fatigue.
Matt keeps a relaxed, straightforward counseling style. He listens first and then works with people to set practical goals. Sessions focus on what clients want to change and on small steps that fit everyday life.
He draws from several approaches to find what helps in real situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness and meditation exercises are offered in session to build calm and attention. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes.
Matt considers more than symptoms. He pays attention to emotional and physical well-being, and to financial and social issues that affect mental health. That means talking about daily routines, sleep, work demands, and family roles, not just feelings.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. The therapist helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and review progress. The focus is on clear steps clients can try between meetings to notice what changes and what doesn’t.
He works in Missouri and lists both LCSW and CSW credentials. Sessions are conducted in English, and international clients are not accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions can work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match what matters. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction after life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or obsessive thoughts. It is practical and skill-oriented. Mindfulness Therapy uses short attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus; these exercises can be practiced briefly during sessions and at home.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on current goals, daily demands, and what the person prefers. Sessions are meant to be trial-and-adjust: try a method, review how it went, and change course if needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter mid-day check-in. Remote sessions also allow practicing mindfulness or CBT tools in the setting where you live and sleep, which can make homework feel more relevant. Ask about session length and the available formats when you arrange your first appointment.
