Matthew Mateika, LMHC

Matthew Mateika is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common household and parenting stresses such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. He also helps with parenting concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, and coping with life changes.

His style is flexible and client-centered. He spends time getting to know each person and adjusts pacing and focus to fit what helps. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on clear goals and small steps forward.

Matthew uses several established approaches to guide work in session. He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people look at feelings and patterns that affect relationships.

He has experience in university counseling and as a lead clinician in a residential substance abuse program. That background informs his work with addiction, mood concerns, and people facing major life changes. He notes experience across a broad range of presenting issues rather than a single specialty.

Practically, Matthew aims for straightforward sessions that address immediate problems and long-term goals. He invites adults who are managing parenting strain, workplace stress, or difficult personal relationships to explore realistic changes. To begin, readers are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
