My name is Matt, I'm a Licensed Clinical Therapist. I've spent the better part of 30 years working with people who have found themselves facing real challenges in life: Whether that be difficult life situations or transitions, families under pressure, schools in crisis, or youth struggling to find themselves. What I've learned is that every person can find their own strength and resiliency, even when it doesn't feel that way. I work from a holistic view, not just what's going on with you as a person, but how you relate to the people and environment around you. Change is possible, I would be honored to help be a part of yours.

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I work best with adults who want to feel better — not just understand themselves better. That means therapy with me is active and practical: we'll build real skills, make real shifts, and you'll leave sessions with something you can actually use.

I specialize in working with college and graduate students, young adults, and anyone navigating a major life transition. You can expect a balance of warmth and genuine challenge — I'm not here to just validate everything, I'm here to help you grow. Short-term and solution-focused by design.

Como terapeuta bilingüe y latina, entiendo de primera mano lo que significa buscar apoyo en dos idiomas y dos mundos. Ofrezco sesiones en español e inglés, en un espacio donde no tienes que traducir quién eres. ¡Estoy aquí para apoyarte!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in South Carolina

Searching for therapists in South Carolina starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and areas of focus can vary. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.

Location and format also shape your search. You may prefer an office near Charleston, Columbia, or Greenville, or you may want virtual sessions that fit your schedule from elsewhere in South Carolina. It can also help to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can show how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus, so you can make a more informed choice.

Therapy in South Carolina can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans and helps you find South Carolina therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, check your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
