About Matthew Johnson, III

My name is Matthew Johnson III, LCSW BACS. I have been a social worker for 24 years. I’ve been an LCSW for 20 year. My experiences are in addictions and bereavement, which help me to work with anxiety, depression, PTSD, Trauma, and family issues. My approach is a client centered approach, and I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with a process oriented clinical environment to allow you to feel comfortable expressing your feelings, having your thoughts and feelings validated and then getting constructive feedback, by working collaboratively with you to help you resolve your current struggles. Our sessions will also help you to grow emotionally by learning to process your negative feelings appropriately, learn better coping strategies to help you thrive and most importantly to help you in your the process of transformation. This is becoming the person that you want to be. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. As you learn to change how you think, feel and act, you will change yourself and hence change your world for the better. I look forward to working with you to help accomplish your life goals.

“Amazing therapist and so insightful!!”

“Matt is an incredible therapist who truly goes above and beyond for his clients. He is not only a great listener but also a compassionate comforter who has a way of helping you see things from a new and healthier perspective. His support doesn’t stop when the session ends—he genuinely cares, often reaching out with messages of encouragement that remind you you're not alone. His kindness, insight, and dedication make such a difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance. If you're looking for someone who will truly be there for you, Matt is the person you want in your corner.”

“I took a hiatus due to money problems but I’m so glad to be back and still have Matthew as my therapist. He seems to truly care about his patients and my wellbeing and my family. He doesn’t make me feel judged, he makes me feel heard. I can’t thank betterhelp or Matthew enough . Even though I’ve just started therapy again I already feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders just knowing I can message him anytime and he always gets back to me in no more than 1 day, and I’m forever grateful for that!”

He gives us some very eye opening concepts to consider and always has feedback for us to work on between sessions. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for help.”
