Carl Mathews Jr., LPCC

I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood and recognizing the strengths you already possess. My goal is to provide a welcoming, respectful, and judgment-free space where you can speak honestly about what you are experiencing.

Together, we will explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns beneath your challenges. We will then develop practical skills that can help you respond more effectively, strengthen relationships, and navigate everyday life with greater confidence.

My counseling style is person-centered, compassionate, and collaborative. I recognize that every person’s experiences and goals are different, so I tailor counseling to your individual needs. Depending on what will best support you, I may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, acceptance-based strategies, mindfulness, and strength-based counseling.

I work with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger and emotional reactivity, relationship and family conflict, grief, stress, parenting challenges, chronic pain, and major life transitions.

Counseling is an opportunity to better understand yourself, practice healthier ways of responding, and create changes that feel both meaningful and sustainable. Wherever you are starting, we will move forward together at a pace that respects your needs and goals.
