About Matthew

Matthew George is a licensed social worker with 33 years of practice. He brings steady, experience-based care to people managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting challenges, and ADHD. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for worried parents reading on a phone.

He uses a mix of client-centered conversation, solution-focused steps, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on the person’s goals and on strategies that can be tried between meetings.

Background and approach

The tone is practical and collaborative rather than academic. Matthew has worked with adults and adolescents across many concerns including trauma and personality-related struggles. He combines short-term problem solving with longer-term skill building when that fits the person’s needs.

Progress is paced to match what the client wants to work on. In sessions he will listen to how symptoms affect daily life and then suggest clear steps to try. Those steps might include behavior changes, communication practices for parenting, or tools to manage attention and mood.

He checks in about what’s working and adjusts the plan together. Matthew practices in Kansas and offers a straightforward, results-oriented style. He encourages people to describe a typical day and one small change they’d like to see.

From there he helps design a practical path forward.

Practical approaches for online care

Matthew often draws from client-centered work that prioritizes the person’s own goals and perspective. That approach involves listening first, reflecting concerns back, and helping clients set small, meaningful goals to try between sessions.

He also uses solution-focused steps that break problems into manageable tasks. These steps are short-term, concrete actions designed to create quick momentum and reduce immediate stress or overwhelm.

Cognitive-behavioral techniques are offered to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior and then test small changes. These tools can help with anxiety, depression, attention differences, and anger by teaching practical ways to respond differently in daily situations.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust based on what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about methods are made together rather than imposed.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and real-time dialogue help the work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Chat and text formats allow brief updates, tracking progress, or quick problem solving between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and daily life.
