Are you feeling stuck—like there's a gap between the life you're living and the one you sense is possible? Are you overwhelmed by anxiety or weighed down by sadness. Maybe you're navigating heartbreak, feeling disconnected from your reflection, or unsure how to move forward in your work, relationships, or creative life. Perhaps you're someone with talent and drive—an artist, athlete, or professional—but find it hard to break through to the next level. Or maybe it’s simply hard for you to rest, to play, to feel at ease in your own skin. If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

I take a warm, down-to-earth approach and believe in seeing the whole person, not just the challenges they are facing. I value genuine connection, humor, and creating a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to help clients feel heard, understood, and supported while working together toward meaningful, lasting change. For the first session, I want clients to leave feeling heard, comfortable, and hopeful about the therapy process. I see the first session as a chance for us to get to know each other, build rapport, understand what brought them to therapy, and begin identifying their goals.

I work with folks in Raleigh, Charlotte and across NC who are dealing with sleeplessness, anxiety, self-doubt, stalled transitions, and the weight of feeling stuck.

Hi, I'm Matthew, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Cardinal Counseling Connection. I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and listed with ICEEFT, and most of my work centers on helping men build a stronger, more honest relationship with themselves and the people they love. Many of the men I work with came to therapy because something wasn't working; maybe it's hard to put feelings into words, relationships feel harder than they should, or old coping strategies (working more, shutting down, numbing out) have started costing more than they help.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
