Matthew Pearce, LCSW

Matthew Pearce is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with six years of clinical therapy experience. He helps people cope with family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, anger, and major life changes.

Pearce works in a straightforward, goal-focused way. Sessions are practical and action oriented. He uses listening, clear feedback, and structured techniques so people leave with things to try between meetings. He often helps clients make plans and small steps toward everyday goals.

He blends talk-based and skills-focused methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offer tools to change patterns of thinking and manage strong emotions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness practices are used when trauma and stress responses are part of the problem.

Matthew has additional focus areas that include abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and personality-related issues, blended family matters, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or control struggles. He also supports people dealing with body image, commitment conflicts, and co-morbid conditions.

In sessions he tends to help clients identify clear next steps and coping strategies. He has experience helping young adults with planning and parents with behavior strategies. The work aims to be usable in daily life and tied to the client's real-world responsibilities and routines.
