About Matthew
Matthew Furlong is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience based in New Jersey. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He also works with issues like addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles with motivation and self-esteem.
Matthew views each person as the expert on their own life. He listens first and asks questions to help people notice their strengths. Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer choices rather than relying on jargon or labels.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a straightforward, respectful style. Matthew uses Client-Centered techniques to offer support and clarity. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and try different behaviors.
Existential ideas guide conversations about meaning, responsibility, and the values that shape daily life. That perspective can help when people feel stuck, isolated, or unsure about next steps. Therapy sessions focus on what matters now and what someone wants moving forward.
He works with a wide range of concerns, including relationships, parenting challenges, anger, grief, and attention-related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and take place through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on preference. Starting is simple: use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits your needs.

Online support
Approaches online that focus on meaning and change
Matthew blends Existential Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to fit each person's needs. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and values to help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about life direction. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy so the person feels heard and can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Matthew works with each person to understand goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges. Together they decide whether to focus more on meaning, support and reflection, or practical behavior changes, and that plan can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth varies, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
