Matthew Poje, LPCC, LPC

Matthew Poje, LPCC, helps people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, and major life changes. He also supports those facing compassion fatigue and people navigating fatherhood challenges, first responder stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are delivered in English and grounded in practical, experience-based work.

Matthew brings 20 years of clinical experience and holds licenses as an LPCC and an LPC in the states noted. He focuses on methods aimed at reducing trauma symptoms and building resilience rather than running diagnostic exams or writing letters for employers or courts. He asks prospective clients to review preparatory material before scheduling so sessions can start with clear goals.

In the therapy room Matthew uses approaches that encourage active, stepwise work on trauma and motivation for change. Conversations are direct and task-focused, with emphasis on learning concrete steps clients can use between sessions. He frames therapy as collaborative work toward realistic goals.

Clients can expect screening tools during early sessions to help shape a plan. Matthew does not offer diagnostic testing and will not provide letters for legal or employment needs. His background includes long-term work with veterans and service-focused populations, and he integrates those perspectives into his practice where relevant.

People looking to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary by location and the subscription model can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, asking questions, and helping clients build motivation for steps such as reducing substance use or making life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is aimed at reducing trauma symptoms by using targeted interventions that address how traumatic experiences affect thoughts, feelings, and behavior. The approach emphasizes learning specific skills and strategies to increase resilience and manage triggers.

Choosing the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approach or combination fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made together so the work feels manageable.

Session format options were not listed in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent follow-up. Some clients find remote work helpful for brief check-ins or to maintain continuity when life and work are unpredictable.
