Virtual & Online Therapy Across Six States
Therapy that fits a real schedule, from wherever you are.
I offer secure video sessions to clients across six jurisdictions. The individual therapy work is the same work I do in my Center City office — same depth, same approach, same 50 minutes. What changes is that you don't lose 45 minutes to travel, and you're not constrained to therapists within driving distance of your home or office.
Where I'm licensed
I'm licensed to provide therapy in the following jurisdictions. Where you are physically located during the session determines which license applies — not where you live or work on paper.
Pennsylvania — in person in Center City Philadelphia, and virtually statewide
New Jersey — in person in Center City Philadelphia, virtually statewide
Washington, D.C. — virtual
Maryland — virtual
Virginia — virtual
Washington State — virtual
If you're outside these jurisdictions, I'm not able to work with you, but I'm glad to help point you somewhere useful.
How sessions work
The platform. Sessions run on VSee, a HIPAA-compliant secure video service. No account or software purchase required on your end — you'll get a link.
The format. A 60-minute intake to start, then 50-minute sessions weekly or biweekly.
What you need. A reliable connection, headphones, and a space where you can speak freely for an hour. That last one matters more than people expect. A parked car, a spare room, or a booked conference room all work better than a shared apartment with someone in the next room.
Scheduling. Daytime, evening, and Saturday hours. Limited availability.
Is virtual the right choice?
For most people, most of the time — yes. The research on tele-therapy for anxiety, depression, and related concerns is strong, and the practical advantages are real: you can fit a session into a lunch hour, keep continuity when you travel, and work with someone whose approach fits rather than whoever happens to be near you.
Virtual tends to work particularly well if you:
Have a schedule that makes a commute genuinely difficult
Travel frequently for work
Live outside Philadelphia but within a state where I'm licensed
Want continuity through a move or a stretch of instability
It tends to work less well if you:
Don't have consistent access to private space
Find you avoid difficult material more easily on screen
Specifically want the ritual and separation of leaving to go somewhere
If you're in Philadelphia and unsure, we can start virtual and move to in-person sessions — or alternate. Plenty of clients do.
Who I work with
High-functioning adults, largely in their mid-twenties through forties. Lawyers, physicians, consultants, engineers, founders, finance professionals, academics. Many are men coming to therapy for the first time.
The recurring themes are career dissatisfaction and identity, relationships that aren't working the way you want, and an undercurrent of anxiety running beneath both.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker with 15+ years of experience, and my work has been featured in the New York Times, Vox and Forbes, among others. You can read more about my background and how I work on my founder page.
What I help with
Anxiety & Stress— practical tools to quiet the noise and feel more in control
Depression & Burnout — support for low mood, fatigue, and finding your way back
Career & Identity— clarity when work feels stuck or unfulfilling
Life Transitions — steadier footing through change
Relationships — individual work on patterns that keep repeating
Men's Therapy — stress, self-doubt, and the pressure to hold it together
OCD Treatment — evidence-based care for intrusive thoughts
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
I'm an out-of-network provider. I don't bill insurance directly, but many clients receive partial reimbursement. I provide a monthly superbill you can submit to your insurer. My out-of-network explainer walks through how that works.
-
Your physical location during the session. If you'll be somewhere I'm not licensed, we'll plan around it.
-
For the concerns I most often treat, the evidence supports it. The bigger variable is whether you have private space and can be candid.
-
It depends on what you're working on. Some people come for a focused stretch around a specific problem; others stay longer. We'll talk about it directly rather than leaving it vague.
-
Call, text, email or message us. From there, we'll schedule a free 30-minute video consultation. The consult is conversational — you'll have a chance to share what's going on, ask questions, and get a feel for how I work. If it seems like a good fit, we'll schedule your first full session from there.
"Working with Matt was my best experience with a therapist, of which I've had several. I felt like my plan was personal to me, and I was getting the most out of our time together."

Getting started is simple
Most people begin with a free 30-minute video consultation. It's an informal conversation — what's going on, what you're hoping for, and whether we're a good fit. No pressure.
If we move forward, the first session is a 60-minute intake, in the office or on video. After that we typically meet for 50-minute sessions weekly or every other week.
