Matthew Berry, LPC, LPCC

Matthew Berry is a licensed counselor who practices in Kentucky and West Virginia. He has ten years of experience helping people through anxiety, stress, addiction, and depression. He offers an affirming approach for LGBTQ+ individuals and those wanting a faith-informed perspective.

He focuses on practical goals like reducing panic attacks, managing obsessive thoughts, and addressing process addictions such as problematic pornography or gambling. He also helps people with anger, communication problems, and guilt or shame tied to life events. Sessions often look at everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of feeling steady.

Matthew works in a collaborative, person-centered way. He aims to meet people where they are and honor their values and identities. Conversations look at what’s happening now and small, doable changes a person can try between sessions.

He also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and men’s issues. That background informs work around relationships and patterns people repeat over time.

People who come to him often want clear steps and honest conversation rather than jargon. He supports those dealing with mood disorders, panic, compulsive behaviors, and substance or process addictions. If you want to understand how thoughts and daily habits affect your mood, he will help you break those patterns and try different approaches.

Approaches for thoughts, habits, and mood

Many clients find benefit from practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on thinking patterns and daily routines. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, and teach ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. These methods are often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Behavioral strategies focus on changing routines and habits that fuel problems like compulsions or process addictions. That might include planning alternative activities, building coping steps, and tracking progress to reduce urges or risky behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He discusses options and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the method matches what the person wants to achieve.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require it. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and session length.
